Can your parts and engineering know-how help AI design your next machine?

MST imports the existing component models your team prepares from its own PDM library. Mechanical Assembly AI uses these approved models and configured engineering rules to create a new SOLIDWORKS equipment assembly, preserving each part’s identity, revision and customer-authorized source.

01 / YOUR STARTING POINT

Prepare the parts for one equipment assembly.

Start with a recurring task your semiconductor gas-equipment design team already handles: a revised module, a different component combination or a layout change. Choose one representative assembly to evaluate.

Your team supplies its own existing PDM model library for MST to import and use. Begin with the approved subset needed for the task; agree access and transfer before sharing protected files.

Component modelsThe native SOLIDWORKS parts and required references, with part numbers, approved revisions and permission to use them. The customer library remains the authoritative source.

One design taskThe relevant P&ID and BOM, the available space, required connections and the engineering rules your team uses for this equipment family.

A result to inspectAgree which saved assembly, model references, component positions and connections your design lead will check. Include preparation and correction time when comparing the work.

02 / WORKING WITH MST

Bring your design task. Agree the implementation together.

Your engineering teamSelects the source models and task, explains the equipment rules, and reviews the generated assembly. Your design or R&D lead defines acceptance; your CAD/PDM or IT administrator confirms the approved access and environment.

MST implementationAgrees the import or connector scope, maps the selected components and interfaces, and configures the supported assembly workflow. The output is a new native, editable SOLIDWORKS assembly for engineering inspection.

A practical comparisonUse the same representative task to compare preparation, generation, checking and corrections. Results depend on the equipment scope and library readiness; record the actual work before estimating a wider rollout.

03 / YOUR MODELS AND ACCESS

Keep your source library under your control.

The default integration reads the approved source models and creates a separate project assembly. It does not silently overwrite released master models. Any PDM write-back or lifecycle change requires a separately approved workflow.

Depending on your environment, agree a configured customer-side adapter or an approved, fixed export of the required files and metadata. Confirm permissions, retention and release authority before access. A filename alone is not enough to identify an approved revision.

Review customer preparation and implementation scope

04 / EQUIPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT

Start with a defined equipment family.

For an already supported equipment class, the work centers on bringing your authorized models and interfaces into the configured workflow. A new equipment class needs its own engineering rules and validation, developed with the customer. A folder of parts alone does not define a design process.

Each PDM vendor, schema and vault policy needs its own integration review; universal plug-and-play compatibility is not claimed. Your engineers remain responsible for accepting the design and approving production release.

Cloud deployment uses team accounts opened by MST. Private deployment uses an enterprise license plus implementation fees, with the scope agreed for your environment. Compare deployment options.

Which repeated design task should we look at first?

Tell us what equipment you design, which PDM or controlled model library you use, and what your engineers need to inspect. A non-confidential description is enough to start; the contact form does not accept model uploads.
