What the drawing demands
A defence or dual-use part can combine demanding tolerances and materials with additional requirements around traceability, controlled technical data and qualified production. Export-control classification is not determined by the drawing alone. Technical characteristics from the drawing and 3D model may form part of that assessment, alongside the applicable control lists, end use, end user and destination. Quality assurance is often governed by contract, for example under NATO AQAP standards such as AQAP-2110, and confidentiality with restricted access is a typical condition for a controlled drawing.
What the model learns here
The model needs to preserve technical requirements and their context: which tolerance belongs to which feature, which material is specified, which quality or traceability requirement applies, and which restrictions have been provided with the request. Where technical characteristics may be relevant to export-control review, Blake can make those characteristics easier to inspect. Legal classification remains a separate compliance decision.
What the model learns here never leaves your premises without permission.
Who this matters to
Reviews the technical requirements and manufacturing assumptions that determine whether and how the part can be produced and costed.
Translates requirements into a feasible manufacturing route while taking process, quality and access constraints into account.
Determines whether the organisation has the technical capability, controls and contractual conditions required to accept the work.
Where this model can help
Technical requirements in context
Blake proposes links between requirements and the geometry they apply to, so an estimator or engineer can review them together.
Preserving manufacturing constraints
Security, quality, traceability and other supplied requirements remain connected to the part and the manufacturing decision.
Designed for controlled deployment
Manufacturing data can require strict controls around storage, access and processing. Blake is designed to support deployment architectures appropriate for sensitive engineering environments.
Defence parts as a feature family, direction
Defence and dual-use parts share a family of technical characteristics the model is designed to recognise across drawings. A design principle, not a confirmed, ratified function.
