SaaS Platform for CAD Mold Design - Development Plan

1. Idea Validation and Market Research

- Market Research: Understand the demand, potential users, and competitors in the CAD and mold

design space.

- User Interviews: Engage with CAD designers to gather insights on their pain points and needs.

- Proof of Concept (PoC): Develop a basic prototype to validate the core idea.

2. Requirements Definition

- User Requirements: Define features like file upload, mold type selection, AI-driven design

generation, and reverse pattern design.

- Technical Requirements: Outline the tech stack, AI/ML models, integration points, and

performance metrics.

3. Technology Stack

- Front-End Development:

- Frameworks: React.js or Angular for a responsive and interactive user interface.

- Languages: JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3.

- Libraries: Three.js for 3D visualization, WebGL for rendering.

- Back-End Development:

- Languages: Python, Node.js, or Go for server-side logic.

- Frameworks: Django, Flask, or Express.js.

- APIs: RESTful APIs for communication between front-end and back-end.

- AI/ML Integration:

- Libraries/Frameworks: TensorFlow, PyTorch for model development.

- Pre-trained Models: Transfer learning from existing CAD or geometric data models.

- Custom Models: Develop AI models for predicting parting lines, run in/out, and other technical

features.

- CAD File Handling:


- File Formats: Support for standard CAD formats like .STEP, .IGES, .STL.

- Libraries: OpenCascade, CGAL for processing and manipulation.

- Database:

- Relational: PostgreSQL or MySQL for user data, design storage.

- NoSQL: MongoDB for storing unstructured data like logs or model configurations.

- Cloud Services:

- Platform: AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud for hosting.

- Storage: S3 or equivalent for file storage.

- Compute: EC2, Lambda functions for scalable processing.

- DevOps:

- CI/CD: Jenkins, GitHub Actions for continuous integration and deployment.

- Containerization: Docker, Kubernetes for managing microservices.

- Monitoring: Prometheus, Grafana for performance monitoring.

- Security:

- Authentication: OAuth2.0, JWT for secure user access.

- Data Encryption: SSL/TLS for secure communication, AES for file encryption.

- Compliance: Ensure GDPR, HIPAA (if relevant) compliance for data protection.

4. Design and Prototyping

- UI/UX Design: Figma, Adobe XD for creating wireframes and prototypes.

- User Flow: Design intuitive flows for file upload, design selection, and result viewing.

- 3D Visualization: Integrate tools for real-time 3D previews of designs.

5. Development

- Front-End Development: Implement user interface based on the design.

- Back-End Development: Set up server-side logic, API endpoints, and database schemas.

- AI/ML Model Development: Train models for mold design prediction, and integrate them with the

back-end.

- Integration: Ensure seamless interaction between front-end, back-end, and AI models.


6. Testing

- Unit Testing: Write tests for individual components and functions.

- Integration Testing: Test interactions between components like front-end, back-end, and AI.

- User Testing: Beta testing with real users to gather feedback and improve the platform.

- Performance Testing: Test for load handling, response time, and scalability.

7. Deployment

- Hosting: Deploy on cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP.

- Scalability: Use auto-scaling groups to handle varying loads.

- CDN: Implement a Content Delivery Network for faster content delivery.

8. Maintenance and Updates

- Bug Fixes: Regularly monitor and fix issues.

- Feature Updates: Roll out new features based on user feedback.

- AI Model Retraining: Regularly update AI models with new data for improved accuracy.

9. Marketing and Sales

- Digital Marketing: Use SEO, content marketing, and social media to attract users.

- Sales Strategy: Develop a pricing model (subscription, freemium) and sales funnel.

- Customer Support: Implement support channels like chat, email, and FAQs.

10. Scaling and Expansion

- Internationalization: Adapt the platform for different languages and regions.

- Partnerships: Collaborate with CAD software providers or design communities.

- New Features: Continuously innovate with features like collaboration tools, cloud storage, or

mobile support.
