Codex + RMFG MCP: let AI design metal parts, run DFM checks and get quotes
PaulYacoubian · x · 2026-09-08
KennethCassel is running a challenge: get $100 off coupons if you use an AI model to design a part and run DFM checks / quoting via the RMFG API or MCP.
The workflow is a single prompt in Codex:
- "Design an X that can be manufactured by RMFG. Use their API or MCP to quote the part and send me a review link."
A follow-up loosens the brief: let the model freely design anything from sheet/tube metal, using the MCP for DFM and quoting, then produce a review link — and Codex has already produced a design. It demonstrates wiring a manufacturer's MCP into a coding agent so AI can complete the full design → DFM → quote → review loop.
