Problem: Assembly Instructions can be Hard to Follow

CNC (computer numerical controlled) laser cutters, routers, and 3D printers are used by more & more hobbyists Technical hobbyists usually don’t have time to write good instructions for the lay person

Proposed Solution

When a design (various formats) is added to a project, find and label the parts A helper widget will prompt the user about the part labeling and persist a labeled parts list if confirmed Detect in the instruction steps when Part N is attached to Part M Try to fit Part N to part M A helper widget will prompt if the fit is correct If correct, the project instruction step is updated with a helper image showing how Parts N & M assemble
