BuildOS supports standard formats like STEP, SLDASM, and JT. When you upload a file, it automatically:

• Loads the model and bill of materials
• Opens in a viewer with interactive navigation
• Lets you click through components in context
• Preserves CAD hierarchy or suggests a recommended assembly order

No setup required—just drop in the
file and your project is ready to go.

After upload, BuildOS helps convert raw CAD into a clean assembly process.

• Condenses repetitive steps using clusters, kits, and combinations
• Identifies logical subassemblies based on part relationships
• Animations stay in sync with any structural changes you make

This is where your CAD starts to look like a real build plan.

BuildOS makes it easy to capture the context and expertise behind every instruction.

• Add notes, images, tools, fixtures, and requirements directly on the 3D model
• Capture rules of thumb and tribal knowledge as you go
• BuildOS remembers past associations and auto-applies them when parts reappear
• Spend less time re-documenting, and preserve expertise for future builds

Over time, your instructions get faster
to create—and smarter with every use.

BuildOS helps you track every change. No extra tools needed.

• Create drafts, request reviews, and manage sign-offs
• Share live instructions with your team or suppliers
• Maintain a clear record of who did what, and when
• Everything stays versioned, traceable, and ready for audit

Operator+ brings BuildOS instructions
directly to your team—no exports required.

• Operators follow instructions in-platform, interact with the 3D model, and log cycle times
• Capture feedback: errors, suggestions, and shop-floor observations
• Tie each run to work orders, serial numbers, or lot tracking for full traceability

Monitor everything in the Runs Dashboard—performance data, anomalies, and feedback all in one place.
