Automating Glass Embossing Designs with AI-Driven CAD Plug-In

Keraglass is an innovative CAD solution designed to automate the preparation of drawings for a glass printer. Previously, the process of creating patterns for embossing on glass surfaces was done manually, which was time-consuming and prone to errors.

The project developed AI-based software that automatically generates patterns in the form of rows of circles along the contour of the glass according to specified parameters. This allowed engineers to significantly speed up the design process, improve accuracy and standardize the approach to creating glass patterns.

Business Challenges

Before implementing the solution, preparing drawings was a complex and labor-intensive process:

Manual design

engineers created patterns manually, spending hours drawing each element.

High risk of errors

due to the human factor, inaccuracies appeared in the drawings, which affected the final result.

Difficulty in replication

each new project required re-creating patterns, which slowed down the process.

Non-standardized parameters

it was difficult to maintain uniform requirements for all projects.

Our Solution

The project was implemented as a plug-in for AutoCAD, compatible with AutoCAD 2020 – AutoCAD 2024 on Windows. Custom AI Solutions made it possible to automate key tasks:

Intelligent pattern generation

The AI ​​algorithm automatically analyzes the glass contour and creates a pattern based on the specified parameters.

The user specifies:

  • Diameter of the initial and final circle
  • Distance between circles
  • Distance between rows
  • Number of rows

The system automatically builds an optimal pattern, eliminating errors and simplifying the process.

Import and export of parameters

The system supports saving pattern parameters, which allows you to:

  • Reuse successful pattern configurations.
  • Create a library of templates for future projects.
  • Ensure standardization and consistency of all drawings.
