MAZIN Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takanori Kadoya) will begin accepting limited applications for the beta version of its cloud-based tool, "AI Drawing Breakdown," designed to reduce the burden of design work in the manufacturing industry, starting July 1, 2026. This product automatically generates JIS-compliant orthographic projection DXF data simply by uploading 3D CAD data (STEP files), dramatically improving the efficiency of the "drawing breakdown" process, which has historically consumed a vast amount of designers' time. The product will be showcased at "Manufacturing NEXT" (Booth Number: E35-30) during the "38th Manufacturing World Tokyo" exhibition, held from July 1, 2026 (Wed) to July 3, 2026 (Fri). > https://www.manufacturing-world.jp/hub/ja-jp/about/next.html HOW IT WORKS Simply upload STEP format 3D data, and AI will analyze the 3D model and automatically perform drawing breakdown for each part.

Furthermore, prior to its release, this product has garnered significant attention from the manufacturing industry, including ranking first in viewership in the "AI Application" category of the "Manufacturing NEXT" exhibition's featured product rankings at "38th Manufacturing World Tokyo."

BACKGROUND: Serious Challenges in Manufacturing Design Sites While 3D CAD is becoming widespread in the manufacturing industry, according to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's "2020 Monozukuri White Paper," less than 20% of companies are conducting 3D design. Only about 15% of companies provide design instructions to partner companies using 3D data; in reality, over half still use 2D drawings for instructions (Note 1). The "drawing breakdown" (creation of part drawings) arises to bridge this "gap between 3D design and 2D manufacturing instruc
