Why Bench?

Engineering iteration today is a tangled mess of manual updates.

Want to test a new propeller in your team's latest drone design?

You tweak the dynamics model, retune the controller, modify the schematic, and resize the PCB—only to find the airframe no longer fits. So, you adjust that too… and suddenly, you’re back at the beginning. Iteration is part of the beauty of engineering—it's a testament to how coupled and messy real-world projects are. But it can also be the biggest bottleneck for your team if not managed correctly.

Bench takes the pain out of iterations, acting as an AI-native automation layer across your entire engineering toolchain. It understands context across domains - mechanical, electrical, firmware, and simulation - and builds workflows that adapt dynamically.

Instead of manually juggling CAD, CAE, Simulink, KiCad, Python, PlatformIO, requirements, documentation (…), Bench orchestrates them into structured, intelligent pipelines.

This isn’t just automation—it’s the foundation of an AI-powered engineering team. Hook up your processes, decision-making, and validation, and let Bench handle the complexity.
