Engineering, made buildable

Engineering design tools for makers.

Real engineering standards, made simple. Design mechanical parts that actually work — verify them against the same methods professionals use, then export print-ready files. No engineering degree required.


The Toolbox

Design tools, one membership

Each tool turns a hard engineering calculation into a few sliders and a download button. Members get access to every tool — current and future.

How it works

From idea to printable part in three steps

STEP 01

Set your parameters

Enter what you know — load, speed, size, material. Plain inputs with clear explanations, no jargon you don't need.

STEP 02

Verify the design

The tool runs the real engineering checks (stress, safety factor, temperature) and tells you if your part will hold.

STEP 03

Export & print

Download a clean STL for your 3D printer and a PDF engineering report documenting every result.
