Question 1

What is ForgePilot?

Accepted Answer

ForgePilot is an AI workspace built for design and manufacturing engineers. It generates FMEA reports, runs tolerance stack-up analysis (worst-case and RSS), reviews CAD files, and answers engineering questions with first-principles reasoning — not generic textbook answers.

Question 2

How is ForgePilot different from ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

ForgePilot is purpose-built for engineering workflows. It understands CAD files (STL, STEP, DXF, IGES), produces ranked FMEA tables with specific RPN numbers, runs tolerance stack-up calculations, and maintains full session context across an entire project — things general-purpose AI cannot do reliably.

Question 3

Does ForgePilot support FMEA generation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ForgePilot generates structured FMEA reports from your design inputs — with ranked failure modes, severity, occurrence, and detection scores, RPN values, and recommended corrective actions. No template to fill in manually.

Question 4

What file formats does ForgePilot support?

Accepted Answer

ForgePilot supports STL, STEP, IGES, DXF, PDF datasheets, CSV test logs, GCode, VTK simulation results, and Abaqus .inp files — up to 10 files per analysis session.

Question 5

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ForgePilot has a free plan with 10 analyses per day — no credit card required. A Pro plan at $9/month unlocks unlimited analyses, multi-file uploads, PDF export, and advanced AI reasoning for FMEA, design review, and tolerance stack-up.
