Keep senior engineers focused on high-value design decisions
Mechanical-design production support for defined, repeatable CAD and documentation 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.
Approved drawing-package updates need reliable production capacity.
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.
Redline updates
Suitable when requirements, reviewer, approver, and ready-for-review expectations are defined.
Drawing packages
Suitable when requirements, reviewer, approver, and ready-for-review expectations are defined.
BOM cleanup

ECO backlog
Suitable when requirements, reviewer, approver, and ready-for-review expectations are defined.
Legacy CAD conversion
Suitable when requirements, reviewer, approver, and ready-for-review expectations are defined.
Detailing from approved models
Suitable when requirements, reviewer, approver, and ready-for-review expectations are defined.
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.
Hourly engagement models
Initial engagements use transparent hourly billing, with an optional written not-to-exceed budget for added cost control.
Managed hourly
Approved production-support hours are billed weekly or biweekly at the agreed client rate.
Hourly with not-to-exceed budget
Approved hours are billed at the agreed rate, with written client approval required before the budget ceiling is exceeded.
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.
