Public engineering documentation for Parametron, an early-stage project for deterministic engineering automation and CAD runtime integration.
Parametron is early-stage. The current public engineering focus is Engine + FreeCAD: a deterministic, PDM-independent local/headless runtime pipeline.
parametron-engine— deterministic engineering validation, planning, execution, adapter contracts, and normalized engineering record production.parametron-freecad— FreeCAD runtime operations behind Engine-owned contracts.
This repository owns the public cross-repository engineering architecture, conventions, and workflow documentation for the current implementation focus.
- Implementation-local documentation stays in the repository that owns the behavior.
- Other Parametron product names and product lines exist, but their architecture and plans are outside the scope of this repository.
- A reference here does not imply that a component is available or production-ready.

Live engineering work is tracked in GitHub Issues and coordinated in the public organization GitHub Project Parametron Engineering, not in this repository.
