Semantic manufacturing

A system comprising:

• a semantic processing module including at least one processor and configured to:
• access a computer aided design (CAD) dataset representing an item to be manufactured and including boundary representations of shapes and numerical data associated with the boundary representations;
• generate, for each of the boundary representations, a semantic graph of the boundary representation;
• and
• a numerical processing module including at least one processor and configured to:
• compute at least one geometric attribute of each of the shapes based on the numerical data associated with the boundary representations.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed on at least one processor of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

• accessing a computer aided design (CAD) dataset by a semantic processing module including at least one hardware processor, the dataset representing an item to be manufactured and including boundary representations of shapes and numerical data associated with the boundary representations;
• generating, by the semantic processing module for each of the boundary representations, a semantic graph of the boundary representation;
• computing, by a numerical processing module including at least one hardware processor, at least one geometric attribute of each of the shapes based on the numerical data associated with the boundary representations;
• modifying, by the semantic processing module, the semantic graph of the boundary representation of each shape based on the at least one geometric attribute of the shape;
• and
• comparing, by the semantic processing module, each of the semantic graphs of boundary representations against a repository of semantic graphs of manufacturing features to identify instances of manufacturing features.
