Manufacturing package

The manufacturing package is geometry plus a frozen configuration. It is not a drawing API.

V1 process classes

ClassProcessRequired filesFusion template must contain
machined_or_general (default)CNC, weldments, assemblies, general fabSTEPConfigured solid
sheet_metalLaser / waterjet / plasma / brakeSTEP + flat DXFReal sheet-metal component + validated flat pattern
profile_cutPlate / gasket / flange outlineSTEP + profile DXFNamed export sketch (default VENDORCAD_EXPORT_PROFILE)

Optional later: PDF (manual or prebuilt drawing only) and NC (CAM/postprocessor). Neither is a V1 promise.

Package contents

{
  configuration: {
    frozenParameters: { length_in: 120, diameter_in: 9 },
    configurationHash: "…",
    templateRevision: "…",
    units: "in"
  },
  commercial: {
    quoteId: "…",
    partNumber: "ACM-SC-900",
    revision: "A",
    quantity: 2
  },
  files: [
    { type: "STEP", objectKey: "…", checksum: "…" }
  ]
}

Build-time filenames stay model.step (and flat.dxf / profile.dxf when required) until the quote record copies them into the manufacturer job path.

What we do not generate

VendorCAD does not auto-generate Fusion Drawing Workspace sheets, dimensioned PDF/DWG shop drawings, or a catch-all fab file. If a shop needs a drawing, attach a prebuilt PDF later — do not advertise a drawing engine.
