Abstract
In an aspect, an apparatus for an interactive compliant manufacturing process, wherein the apparatus includes a processor and a memory communicatively connected to the processor. The processor is configured to receive a representative part model from a user and determine a correct interpretation of the model. This includes using a function datum received from a user to minimize correlation ambiguity of the representative part model and verifying the indented interpretation of the representative part model as a function of a specification datum. The processor is further configured to analyze a price quote of the representative part model.
