MEKLYRA
CNC process engineering · not another CAM

A senior programmer’s know-how, in every operator’s hands.

From the model, through the setup, to inspection — the future of the production floor.

Drop the STEP and the drawing, or the drawing alone — in under a minute you have a machining plan: setups, tools and cutting data by rules written from decades at the machine, not another AI guessing. MEKLYRA hands you a job package the floor can set up from. Every decision cites its rule; every gap is shown, never hidden.

MEKLYRA is in early access and improves every week. Tell us what is wrong or missing — we read every message and answer within one business day. Tell us →

Every point on this map is a real record MEKLYRA holds — its written rules, the tool makers’ catalogues it plans with, and the parts it has planned.

How it works

From files to a job package.

Four steps, nothing hidden in between.

STEP 01

Load the part

Drop the part's files on one door: the STEP model with its drawing. The engine reads true B-Rep geometry — holes, pockets, steps in a bore, datums — and checks the model against the drawing's callouts. No model? Drop the drawing alone: MEKLYRA builds the model from it — milled, turned or mill-turn — and lists what the drawing does not give, for your confirm. A drawing it cannot truly read is refused, with the reason. Already programmed in SolidCAM? Its tool file with the part makes it a production package.

STEP 02

The playbook plans it

Setup order, workholding, work offsets, tools and cutting data — each decided by a written rule with its provenance shown, from your crib first and the makers' own cutting data second (ISCAR, Kennametal, Harvey Tool…); a tool without the maker's figures gives way to one that has them.

STEP 03

Review and hand off

Watch the simulation strip the stock operation by operation, read the why behind every choice, and print a production instruction the shop floor can actually set up from — and hand your CAM its own files: the tool library and ready operations (SolidCAM first).

STEP 04

The floor closes the loop

Release the job to the tablet at the machine — drawing, tools, inspection sheet. What actually ran comes back signed, and becomes the verified record the next part plans from.

Built from the floor

The floor, easier than it has ever been.

MEKLYRA was built by a manufacturing technologist who started as a machine operator, then set the machines up, then programmed them. Every screen answers something he lived at the machine.

The drawing against the balloons

The drawing and the inspection report are checked balloon by balloon on the screen, with the limits and the middle of every tolerance — no waiting for someone to explain the report.

No paper at the machine

The job, its drawing and its setup reach the tablet at the machine. Nothing to print, and no traveler sheet with oil spilled on it.

The programmer, one tap away

The operator reports from the tablet on the operation itself — chatter, a worn or broken tool, a note — and the programmer sees it on the floor board at once, instead of a run across the shop.

The production manager sees the floor

What is running on which machine and how far each job has come — without walking the floor to find out.

Times for every operation

Machining time per operation and per part — the numbers a precision shop quotes and plans by.

Tools found, not searched for

Every operation names its tool from the shop's own library, with its holder and stick-out, before the setup starts.

Knowledge that comes back to you

Every shop that works with MEKLYRA makes it better for the next: what a plan teaches returns to the playbook, and to you on your next part — like machining with hundreds of programmers beside you. What comes back is know-how, never your parts: the model and the drawing reach our server in Tel Aviv only with your approval, stay in your account, and are never passed to anyone.

What is in MEK·LYRA.

MEK

Mechanical engineering, and the know-how of the shop floor: the rules a senior programmer works by, written down.

LYRA

The constellation of Vega, one of the stars navigators have fixed their position by for centuries. A fixed point to plan by: every decision cites its rule.
