Structured production-support work with less bidding noise
DesignBench helps capable freelance CAD and mechanical-design professionals hear about scoped production-support work without joining an open bidding marketplace.
Why designers join
Free initial network
Joining the interest list is free, non-exclusive, and does not require you to accept any project.
Less bidding
DesignBench handles company outreach, initial scoping, and matching rather than public bid races.
Verified skill profiles
Badges and scorecards help your production skills stand out clearly.
Clear project scopes
Scope, rate, review expectations, and schedule are agreed before work begins.
You stay in control
You may accept or decline every opportunity, and no volume of work is guaranteed.
No free client work
Designers are never expected to perform real client work for free during screening.
Verification process
Assessment is practical and job-based. Designers are not automatically approved by score alone.
Production-support profile review
DesignBench reviews experience, software depth, documentation habits, and fit for structured work before inviting an assessment.
Practical production assessment
Candidates complete job-like CAD, drawing, BOM, redline, and file-organization tasks instead of relying only on resumes.
Review and escalation check
A reviewer checks instruction following, revision discipline, customer-standard adherence, escalation judgment, and communication.
Production reliability scoring
Scorecards emphasize drawing accuracy, stable modelling, BOM quality, file organization, consistency, and collaboration.
