I’ve just released a major update to my CNC cost estimation tool — and this one is different. It’s not based on assumptions, theory, or what I think “should work.”It’s based directly on conversations with machine shop owners and engineers …
If mechanical design starts with CAD, it usually starts too late. The greatest losses in mechanical projects occur not during modeling, but during the phase of gathering requirements, clarifying the problem, and establishing design constraints. In practice, a mechanical project …
How many times has a design been “almost ready,” only to be sent back from production, assembly, or testing with a list of issues: collisions, lack of tool clearance, poor material selection, unforeseen loads, or documentation that doesn’t match reality? …
Business Context & Problem Card isn’t just a form. It’s your defense against costly design mistakes before the first 3D model. Most mechanical engineers jump straight into CAD because it feels productive. The problem? Without understanding the business context, project …
CNC machining cost estimation often wastes hours on manual quotes and inaccurate guesses. MechSkills’ new tool delivers instant, model-based pricing for turning, milling, and laser cutting directly from your STP file. Key Problems Solved Engineers and shops struggle with time-consuming …
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. …
