Direct client initiated CNC tool setting

This invention helps users of CNC machines, particularly for laser cutting or welding, to improve how they inspect and rework parts. A user can draw freehand lines directly on a touchscreen image of a workpiece to indicate where a new part should be added, and the system automatically refines these marks. One specific claim narrows the tool to a plasma cutting torch.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread adoption of advanced AI for image interpretation and CAD conversion. Modern machine learning models could now more accurately translate freehand marks into precise CNC instructions.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, vision system, CNC integration
