MechSkills Manifesto: Building Better Machines, Smarter
Welcome to the MechSkills Manifesto—the founding vision for a platform revolutionizing mechanical engineering. This is our declaration of intent, where I introduce myself, define what MechSkills stands for, explain my drive, and outline how we solve real-world problems for engineers.
Who I Am
I’m Michael, founder of MechSkills, with over 15 years in mechanical design, manufacturing, and product development. From childhood fascination with machines—watching engineering docs instead of cartoons—to mastering CAD, 3D printing, and real projects, I’ve lived the engineer’s journey. I built custom calculators and scripts tested in live engineering departments, born from frustrations with inadequate training and tools.
What is MechSkills?
MechSkills is a practical platform for mechanical engineers building better products faster. We blend core skills, creative methods, and real workflows into courses, tools, and systems that teach “why” behind designs—not just “how.” Think structured frameworks for machine design, CNC optimization, BOM verification, and more, empowering engineers to design smarter, not harder.
Why I Created This
Corporate training often ignores real needs: scattered knowledge, no hands-on tools, and endless rework from poor inputs or documentation. Surveys of 62+ Polish mechanical constructors highlight demands for knowledge bases, networking, SolidWorks mastery (45% usage), and skills in automation, welding, 3D prototyping. Engineers waste time on repetitive tasks like BOM scrubbing or input gathering. I built MechSkills to fill this gap, sharing battle-tested systems so you thrive without the struggle.
Our Unique Value Proposition
MechSkills equips your engineers with precision tools—radius checkers, cost estimators, input checklists—that cut errors and speed quotes by 50%+. Salespeople win easier closes with reliable designs, reducing rework and boosting win rates. Unlike generic CAD courses, our real-world frameworks.
