How teams ship with SolidMake

Real workflows, real numbers. Identifying details abstracted at customer request.

01AEROSPACE

Flight-ready brackets in an afternoon.

Tier-1 supplier, additive titanium parts

An aerospace supplier needed to evaluate 18 packaging variants for a satellite antenna mount. Their CAD team typically modeled three per week. SolidMake produced parametric STEP files for all 18 — each respecting wall-thickness, draft, and topology limits — in under a day, with FEA-ready geometry.

02AUTOMOTIVE & EV

Battery-tray packaging at design-cycle speed.

EV startup, prototype phase

When packaging changed every Sprint, the mech-eng team was rebuilding the battery tray from scratch. SolidMake captured the constraints (cell layout, fasteners, cooling channels) and now regenerates an updated tray in minutes — every Monday, before standup.

03ROBOTICS

Custom grippers without the gripper engineer.

Industrial automation integrator

An integrator deploys robots into 30+ new factories a year, each needing a custom end-effector for a unique part. They now describe the part and the grip pose in plain English; SolidMake delivers a printable two-finger gripper assembly — fully constrained — by lunch.

04CONSUMER ELECTRONICS

Enclosures with DfM baked in.

Wearables OEM, EVT phase

A wearables team kept failing tolerance checks late in EVT. With SolidMake they front-load DfM — minimum wall, draft, snap-fit clearance, and assembly order — into every enclosure variant. The molders now get parts that mold the first time, not the third.

— The pattern

Every team uses it the same way

01INPUT

Describe the part

Plain English, sketch, photo, or an existing STEP file — whatever you have. SolidMake reads the intent.

Skip the blank-canvas tax. Your spec becomes the model brief.

02CONSTRAIN

Constraints meet AI

Tolerances, manufacturing process, weight budget — applied as hard constraints, not suggestions.

Engineering intent is preserved across regenerations, branches, and refinements.

03OUTPUT

Iterate or export

Tweak any parameter and regenerate, or export STEP/IGES to your CAD of choice and keep editing.

Clean B-Rep output opens losslessly in SolidWorks, NX, Fusion, Onshape, Creo, Inventor.

SolidMake is general-purpose CAD intent — if you can describe the part, we can build it.
