MakinaRocks DrawX (AI drawing workspace)

MakinaRocks is a Korean industrial AI company founded in 2017, with offices in Seoul and Tokyo and a listing on KOSDAQ in 2026. It builds specialised AI for automotive, heavy industry, defence and general manufacturing, and says more than 6,000 industrial AI models have been deployed. Its Runway platform manages the full AI lifecycle in secure plant environments.

DrawX is its AI workspace for mechanical drawings. Users upload drawings in PDF, image, DWG or TIFF format, and AI extracts dimensions, materials, BOM data and custom fields and organises related files and versions. Engineers can search by attributes and shape without a drawing number, find similar drawings together with past quotes, suppliers and quality records, and compare two drawings to see only what changed. It targets design, purchasing and cost analysis teams in manufacturers.

• Upload: imports PDF, image, DWG and TIFF drawings and organises their relationships.
• AI extraction: pulls dimensions, materials, BOM data and company-specific fields into structured data.
• Attribute and shape search: finds drawings without filenames or drawing numbers.
• Similar-part reuse: shows similar drawings with related quotes, suppliers and quality records.
• Compare: auto-aligns drawings of different sizes and layouts and highlights only the changes.
• Standardisation: turns in-house fields and similarity rules into shared data.

A Vietnamese precision machining supplier can find similar past parts and their costs before quoting a new drawing from a Korean customer. An engineering team can check revisions between drawing versions automatically. A Korean-invested plant in Vietnam can standardise drawing data shared with headquarters.

In large-enterprise deployments, MakinaRocks reports up to 90% less time spent reviewing and managing drawings. Engineers no longer rely on memory of filenames, and buyers can reuse similar drawings with related quotes and suppliers when costing a new part. Automatic comparison detects additions, deletions and edits that are easy to miss when overlaying drawings by hand.

Machining and component suppliers in Vietnam and across Asia receive thousands of customer drawings from Korean and Japanese OEMs and must quote quickly. Turning scattered drawings into searchable data is becoming an early AI use case in manufacturing, because it links design, purchasing, costing and quality without changing shop-floor systems.

MakinaRocks was founded in 2017 and has offices in Seoul and Tokyo. It was named a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer (2021), was selected for the CB Insights AI 100 (2023), became a national defence integrated AI platform supplier in Korea (2024) and listed on KOSDAQ in 2026.
