Our Mission

To eliminate the "Machinist's Trilemma" - the tradeoff between quality, cost, and speed.

The Problem

CNC programmers heavily rely on analog workflows with tribal knowledge and scattered technical information, leading to inconsistent, improvised CAM programming. This fragmented approach results in an unreliable process of trial-and-error that slows down programming, increases errors, and wastes time and money.

Professionals at both large OEMs and small job shops report spending 8 hours per week in planning and trial-and-error, leading to production bottlenecks. Additionally, they spend 28 hours programming CAM and up to 4 hours doing "production readiness" / refining CAM.

Our Solution

Swarf's AI Copilot redefines CNC programming by combining your shop's context with global expertise. Our platform transforms tribal knowledge into an intelligent assistant that guides programmers to create production-ready CAM programs faster, shorten turnaround times, expand team capacity, and increase company profitability.

By leveraging AI-powered expertise at your fingertips, we estimate we can reduce:

• CAM planning time by 75% (down to 2 hours/week)
• Programming CAM time by 20% (down to 22 hours/week)
• "Production readiness" time by 50% (down to 2 hours/week)

How We Do It

Our platform consists of three integrated components:

• AI Copilot: Your intelligent machining assistant that provides continuous guidance based on your shop's knowledge and industry best practices, helping programmers make better decisions at every step.
• Knowledge Library: Gives CNC programmers on-demand access to machining techniques tailored to their exact needs and continuously improves as the AI learns from successful operations.
• AI-Powered CAM Planner: Transforms conversations with your AI Copilot into structured, interactive machining plans, allowing programmers to systematically assemble and refine validated techniques.

With Swarf's AI Copilot, CNC programmers work like their best selves, leverage global knowledge, create better plans with fewer mistakes, and turn individual expertise into a team-wide advantage.
