Blake at the Precision Fair 2026

What will you see at stand H1-101?

We run Blake live on a part close to what you make: a milled part, a turned part or a mill-turn part, from simple to complex. The whole route sits on one screen, and at every step you see where a value comes from.

A request arrives with model and drawing per part, in Requests. Blake prepares the drawing's requirements: material, general and specific tolerances, roughness, finishing and threads. A colleague confirms or corrects, and that choice stays with the part.

Then comes the estimate: cycle time, programming and setup, at the hourly rate of the machine in your factory and the purchase price from your material catalogue. Outsourced finishing sits on its own line. The price that comes out is yours, on your machines and rates.

What role does AI play in Blake?

In Blake, AI reads the drawing and the model and lays out the requirements per part as proposals: material, tolerances, roughness, finishing and threads. Blake then checks envelope and axes per machine. Your cost engineer starts from a filled-in proposal instead of a bare drawing.

The decision stays with your people. Every value is a proposal until someone confirms it, with who and when on record. That way AI makes quoting faster, without anyone having to trust a figure they cannot check.

Those confirmed choices become the memory of your shop: a manufacturing world model in which parts, requirements, machines and decisions connect. Every new part then starts from what your company already knows.

What would we like to talk about with you?

We are at the fair to talk with the people who quote every day. How do you estimate today, where does the time go, which parts are hard to price and what do you expect from AI in manufacturing engineering? That is the conversation we want, around your own kind of work.

Walk in without an appointment, or arrange a time in advance with the Book a demo button at the foot of this page. Drawings of your own work are shared only after we agree confidentiality terms; at the stand we work with our own example part.

What is Subduxion talking about in the AI Experience?

Besides the stand, Subduxion, the company behind Blake, is on the fair's lecture programme. On both days we speak from 12:00 to 12:20 in the AI Experience on the rise of manufacturing world models.

We show what AI already does in manufacturing engineering and estimating today, what the craftsman keeps deciding, and how a shop's know-how becomes a model that every quote draws on. After the talk, we show it at the stand.

Practical: when, where and how to get in

Admission is free for professionals in the high-tech and ultra-precision industries. Register your visit in advance on the Precision Fair registration page (opens in a new tab). The floor plan and the full programme are on the fair's own site.

By train, it is about 15 to 20 minutes on foot from 's-Hertogenbosch station to the Brabanthallen. By car, parking on site is paid; you can buy an exit ticket online in advance.
