Manti is the AI workstation for
hardware and robotics engineering.
Manti Desktop: the copilot lofts a 13-inch propeller with tool cards and timings, a live curvature check, and a todo list that separates claimed from verified, while the canvas shows the finished propeller turning in the MantiCAD part editor with its toolbar and feature tree. Backdrop: a painted Boston reflecting pool at sunset.
Plugins
Six disciplines in one app: CAD, PCB, CFD, FEA, robotics training and ROS 2, all working on the same project files.
Install each engine once for this machine, then enable it per project. No terminal, no manual downloads.
- CAD Included Model the assembly. The kernel measures interference and mass, nothing eyeballed. Parametric part + assembly modeling (MantiCAD)
- PCB Draw the board. The checks come back as verdict cards, and they catch real defects. Schematic, layout, DRC + SPICE simulation (KiCad · ngspice)
- CFD Flow fields as canvas layers: streamlines, slices, and isosurfaces, with the evidence beside them. Finite-volume flow simulation (OpenFOAM® · Gmsh · PyVista)
- FEA Walk the modes one at a time. Each run's verdict card states its gaps. Meshing + finite-element analysis (Gmsh · CalculiX)
- Robotics Training Physics simulation and policy training. MuJoCo · install once, enable per project
- ROS 2 ROS 2 workspaces and nodes. Install once, enable per project

CAD · Included
Full CAD: parts and assemblies.
Parametric modeling in the native viewport: sketch, loft, assemble; interference and mass measured by the kernel, not eyeballed.
Sun–planet is essentially clean (check_gear_mesh PASS, Lewis 37 MPa vs operator 327 MPa, margin 5.89). Two more clashes: housing through-bore vs the Ø24 sun boss (3023 mm³), and pins still nick the pocket floor (151 mm³).
Acetal fails this load (Lewis FAIL at a 1/3-tensile derate). Theoretical backlash is zero — running clearance has to come from tooth thinning, not center distance.
Sizing receipts are in docs/planetary-6to1-sizing.md. Next fix is the ring profile; say if you want that first or the housing bore.
i. Think it is missing a lid and a bearing for the output but this looks good.
PCB · EDA
Full EDA: schematic to board.
Bundled KiCad and ngspice do the real work: capture, layout, DRC and SPICE, every rule check landing as a verdict card, not a log line.
Check 6 claims a 5.0 V ±2% fixed-accuracy rail while the schematic wires the part as adjustable. Check 9’s ILIM equation constant (6400) is 10× off the DRV8871 datasheet’s 64,000.
Group verdict — Independent review: iterate (88% confidence). Full discussion in #schematic-design (3 tasks reviewed together).

CFD · Analysis
Full CFD: solve and see the flow.
OpenFOAM® runs on your machine, and fields land on the canvas as layers (surface, streamlines, slices) with the evidence beside the picture; a solve that did not converge says so.
Re-exporting the t = 1 wake GLB with an |U| isosurface at 0.6 of the measured max, keeping the same streamlines and mid-plane slices.
Re-exported sim/cube-flow/U-wake.field.glb at t = 1. Same streamlines and two mid-plane slices; added iso_0 at |U| = 0.788 m/s (0.6 × 1.313). Surface is hidden so you see the envelope. Because the walls are no-slip, |U| = 0.788 is a core-flow tube; the wake is the indentation where speed drops below that value.
FEA · Analysis
Full FEA: mesh, solve, see the modes.
Bundled Gmsh and CalculiX: one snap per mode, deformation at true or exaggerated scale, legend and playback in the frame.
