Keep senior engineers focused on high-value design decisions
Use DesignBench to clear structured CAD, drawing, BOM, redline, and revision backlogs under your team's technical direction and final approval.
When DesignBench fits
The best early pilot fits know what needs to be done but need reliable managed production-support capacity to protect deadlines and reduce senior-engineer burnout.
Your internal designers are stuck in release, ECO, or drawing backlog work.
A machine project needs CAD production support before build under your team's standards.
You want a paid trial before committing to a longer engagement.
You need an embedded designer for weekly collaboration windows.
A reviewer should sample critical drawings before customer release.
Legacy CAD, BOM, or redline cleanup keeps stealing senior-engineer time.
Start with a small, low-risk backlog project—no long-term commitment required.
A focused pilot makes scope, communication, file handling, and review rhythm easier to test.

Supported project types
Project risk screen
The initial service is built for structured, reviewable production work. Intake captures who reviews, who approves, what the designer may decide, and what must be escalated.
Structured production support suitable for DesignBench: drawings, redlines, BOM cleanup, file/PDM organization, legacy CAD conversion, and simple updates from approved requirements.
Bounded design support that can fit when the client provides active review: brackets, guards, mounts, change parts, assembly detailing, and limited modelling choices with clear escalation rules.
Not suitable for the initial service: independent final engineering approval, stamped engineering, safety-critical calculations, lifting-device certification, pressure-system certification, public-safety work, unclear concept work with no client reviewer, or independent professional engineering responsibility.
Engagement models
The MVP supports practical ways to add capacity without pretending every request is the same kind of project.
Embedded designer
A designer joins your weekly rhythm for CAD, drawing, or documentation production support with defined overlap hours.
Fixed-scope backlog sprint
A contained batch of redlines, drawings, BOM cleanup, or CAD conversion work is scoped, estimated, and tracked.
Designer plus reviewer
A production designer completes structured work while a senior reviewer samples output and records quality and escalation notes.
Matching, trial, and responsibility
DesignBench keeps scope, approval, and professional responsibility explicit so the service does not overpromise.
Confidentiality and file security
Intake captures NDA needs, PDM/VPN access, software access, export-control notes, and customer-display restrictions. Private uploads are designed for Supabase storage with signed URLs rather than public exposure.
Final approval remains defined
DesignBench provides CAD, drafting, documentation, and bounded mechanical-design production support. The client retains technical direction, engineering standards, supervision, review responsibility, final approval, and decisions about licensed oversight.
