CAD Model Archival and Content-Addressed Geometry Sinks

Fabricating physical hardware and mechanical assemblies requires version-controlled 3D models and CAD blueprints. Scrimshaw catalogs design files (STEP, IGES, STL, F3D) using content-addressed cryptographic hashing to ensure absolute geometric permanence.

Geometry Invariants

  1. Content-Addressed File Sinks: 3D solid models and meshes verify against immutable SHA-256 CAS hashes (urn:cas:sha256:...) on disk.
  2. Model Format Declarations: Frontmatter metadata explicitly declares native CAD source formats and target manufacturing processes.
  3. Traceable Revision History: Geometric modifications link directly to engineering notes and fabrication work orders.

Content-addressed CAD archival guarantees that physical parts can always be reproduced from exact digital geometry.
