2How it works

One upload, five steps, back in minutes.

You spend about fifteen minutes uploading. Ballooning takes seconds and the full package takes minutes. A named engineer checks every characteristic before it's released.

  1. 1
    YOU · ABOUT 15 MIN

    Upload the drawing and routing

    Any age, any format, multi-sheet. A clean PDF or a forty-year-old scan, a DXF or a phone photo, plus the routing you already run.

  2. 2
    AI · SECONDS

    Every characteristic ballooned, in seconds

    Dimensions, tolerances, GD&T, threads, notes and title-block general tolerances. Inch or metric. Each one numbered and pinned to the print before you've closed the upload window.

  3. 3
    AI · MARKED DRAFT

    Process flow and PFMEA from your routing

    Your operations become the process flow diagram, and the PFMEA is drafted against them. Both are marked draft. You sign off.

  4. 4
    AI

    Control plan and dimensional layout, keyed to the balloons

    Every row carries its balloon number, in your customer's template. Your CMM results drop straight into the layout.

  5. 5
    AI + NAMED ENGINEER · MINUTES

    PSW filled, binder assembled, engineer-reviewed

    Checked against customer-specific requirements: Ford, GM, Stellantis, Kohler or generic AIAG. Then a named engineer checks every characteristic and releases it.

3Ballooning

The fastest ballooning out there. Every characteristic, in seconds.

Ballooning a print by hand eats three to four hours of retyping tolerances. PXL Kraft reads the drawing and balloons every characteristic in seconds, then builds the rest of your PPAP from those numbers. Watch it on a sample part.

Notes · what gets ballooned

  1. 1.Every dimension and tolerance, inch or metric, including limits and basic dimensions.
  2. 2.GD&T feature control frames and datums.
  3. 3.Threads, chamfers, radii, hole callouts and counts like 4× or TYP.
  4. 4.Drawing notes, material callouts and title-block general tolerances.
  5. 5.Every sheet of a multi-sheet print, from a clean PDF to a forty-year-old scan or a phone photo.

Notes · how it balloons

  1. 1.Each balloon parks beside its own callout with a leader, clear of geometry and dimension text.
  2. 2.Numbered in order around the sheet, so your inspector reads the print the way they always have.
  3. 3.The balloon number becomes the row number in the PFMEA, the control plan and the dimensional layout.
  4. 4.You get the ballooned drawing back as a PDF, with the characteristics list already in your customer's template.
4Traceability

Every balloon, carried through every document.

The balloon number on the print is the row number in the PFMEA, the control plan and the dimensional layout. Your customer can trace any line back to a feature on the drawing. Tap a balloon.

7Trust · the hard rule

PXL Kraft drafts engineering judgement. It never invents evidence.

An AI that fabricates a Cpk is worse than no AI at all. So the boundary is architectural, not a policy note: evidence can only enter the system by a person uploading it, and nothing ships until a person releases it.

DRAFT BY DEFAULT

Every document stays DRAFT until a named engineer approves it.

COVERAGE GATE

No sheet is approved until balloon coverage passes, or a reviewer records a disposition.

FULL AUDIT TRAIL

Every action, human or machine, timestamped and attributed. Exportable.

  • No ITAR or export-controlled work. Every upload carries an attestation.
  • Drawings deleted 30 days after the job closes. Never used to train models.
  • A named engineer on every released package.

10Questions

What quality managers ask us first.

01What do I actually send you?

The customer drawing and the routing you already run. When you have them, your measurement results and material certs. That's it. No CAD model needed.

02How fast is the ballooning?

Seconds. PXL Kraft reads the print and balloons every characteristic, including GD&T, threads, notes and general tolerances, in seconds. The same job by hand is three to four hours of retyping.

03How can the whole package come back in minutes?

Ballooning takes seconds, and every document after it is built from those balloon numbers and your routing, so nothing is retyped. A named engineer checks every characteristic before release, and the package comes back in minutes.

04Our prints are old scans. Will it read them?

Yes. Any age, any format: vector PDF, scanned paper, DXF or a phone photo, single or multi-sheet. Inch or metric, including title-block general tolerances.

05Whose template does the package use?

Your customer's own template. The binder is checked against customer-specific requirements for Ford, GM, Stellantis and Kohler, or generic AIAG when there are none.

06Do you measure parts or make up capability numbers?

Never. You measure; we compile. The dimensional layout and the Cpk / Ppk study are built only from data you upload. We never invent a measurement, a Cpk, a cert or a signature.

07Who checks the AI's work?

A named engineer checks every characteristic before anything is released, and their name is on the package. Every document stays draft until then.

08We also do aerospace and medical work.

Same platform. It produces AS9102 Rev C Forms 1–3 for first article inspection, in your FAI template.

09What happens to our drawings?

Encrypted at rest and isolated per company. Deleted 30 days after the job closes, and never used to train models. We don't accept ITAR or export-controlled work; every upload carries an attestation.

10How is it priced?

Per package, or a monthly desk if you run a lot of them. We price it on the call, after you've seen the output from your free trial PPAP.

The demo policy

Bring your ugliest drawing.

A forty-year-old scan. A phone photo of a fax. A six-sheet pack with hand-written revisions. If PXL Kraft can’t read it, the demo ends early. That’s the deal.
