Misumi is expanding its digital, AI-supported 3D manufacturing platform Meviy with a comprehensive functional update. The new functions are designed to improve both the technical specification of components and the integration of the platform into existing engineering workflows. The aim is to further automate the path from 3D model to orderable, ready-to-use component and to reduce typical friction points in digital procurement.

The new features include surface treatments for NAK55-equivalent tool steels and selected stainless steel alloys, expanded options for defined chamfer and radius machining, new CAD automation functions for tolerance definition and an integrated DXF export for technical documentation. Meviy is also expanding its machining capabilities for turned parts, allowing extra-long shafts with a larger length-to-diameter ratio to be calculated and procured directly.

Less friction between design and procurement

In many development projects, delays are not caused by the design itself, but by downstream processes, according to Misumi. These include additional coordination steps for surface treatments, manual entry of tolerances or the creation of 2D documentation for quality inspection and internal archiving.

Geometric restrictions can also slow down digital procurement processes. Certain components, such as long stepped shafts, previously could not be calculated automatically and required manual quotations.

Expanded functions for automated engineering workflows

With the latest update, Meviy addresses these challenges through several new functions within the platform.

An expansion of the surface treatment offering enables additional high-performance coatings for NAK55-equivalent steels and selected stainless steel alloys, including electroless nickel and low-temperature black chrome. This allows components to be ordered directly with a durable, function-specific surface without additional coordination with external coating service providers.

Edge machining has also been expanded. Users can now select defined chamfer and radius parameters, which are specified directly in the digital model and transferred into production. This enables consistent edge quality without additional post-processing.

In CAD integration, the new Batch Dimensions and Tolerances v3 function improves the workflow between model upload and price calculation. The system automatically recognises precision-relevant holes based on defined CAD attributes and adds the corresponding positional dimensions and tolerances. This is intended to significantly reduce manual input.

The DXF download function also enables the automatic creation of 2D DXF files directly from the platform once a part number has been assigned. These files can be used for documentation, quality inspection or internal version control and make collaboration between design, quality assurance and production easier.

Meviy is also expanding its manufacturing capacities for turned parts. Through extended support for the length-to-diameter ratio, extra-long stepped shafts can now be calculated and ordered directly. According to estimates, this means that around 80 percent of previously rejected models can be automatically processed and quoted in future.

Applications in mechanical engineering, robotics and semiconductor manufacturing

The new functions are aimed in particular at industries with high requirements for precision and process speed, including mechanical engineering, robotics, semiconductor technology and automated production systems.

Improved surface options support, for example, the production of durable tool components or low-reflection parts for optical inspection systems. Expanded geometry and machining options are intended to simplify the procurement of complex mechanical components such as large base plates or long drive shafts. At the same time, automated CAD and documentation functions improve the integration of the platform into existing development and quality processes, according to Misumi.

Step towards fully digital procurement processes

With the new functions, Misumi is further developing its Meviy platform into an integrated digital procurement solution. The aim is to map the entire process from design and quotation through to manufacturing and technical documentation in one continuous digital workflow.
