{"id":85704,"title":"Fabricate - Instantly Generate Engineering Drawings","tagline":"Mechanical Engineers spend too much time making engineering drawings. Fabricate does it for them.","body":"# **TLDR**\n\nMechanical engineers **hate** making engineering drawings. Fabricate lets them instantly create engineering drawings for their parts, saving them up to **40** hours every month by doing the tedious work for them.\n\n[Product Video](https://youtu.be/SYAAd9bGSlQ)\n\n# **The Problem**\n\nEngineering drawings are required for every manufactured part, but creating them is tedious and time-consuming. For large industrial projects with **thousands** of parts, engineers spend countless valuable hours on drawings instead of designing new parts. This bottleneck delays production and **wastes** valuable engineering talent.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85704\u0026key=user_uploads/1684816/9e451d4b-5f32-4dea-9829-2796f126651f)\n\n# **The Solution**\n\nFabricate analyzes your existing drawings and automatically generates new ones matching your exact standards - from dimensions and annotations to views and formatting. It integrates directly with existing CAD software and maintains consistency across all drawings and manufacturing methods.\n\n# **The Founders**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85704\u0026key=user_uploads/1684816/fd42ce0c-7467-431c-84ca-8a3e41a04194)\n\nLucas has been obsessed with CAD his entire life; He became the youngest ever Solidworks expert at 15. Recently, he worked on the Cybertruck battery design.\n\nEthan has been programming since he was 8; most recently worked at Ericsson, a job he was offered for developing an embedded OS on his own at school. \n\nWe met at the Canada Wide Science Fair and have been building together for 6+ years. We both dropped out of university to work on Fabricate.\n\n**Our Ask:**\n\nIf you're making engineering drawings or know someone who is, we'd love to get you started. Email [lucas@tryfabricate.com](mailto:lucas@tryfabricate.com) or book a demo at [tryfabricate.com](http://tryfabricate.com). We're happy to visit your office with donuts to discuss how we can help!","slug":"MIK-fabricate-instantly-generate-engineering-drawings","created_at":"2024-11-19T19:55:06.612Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T01:52:38.120Z","total_vote_count":38,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/MIK-fabricate-instantly-generate-engineering-drawings","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=85704\u0026key=user_uploads/1684816/fd42ce0c-7467-431c-84ca-8a3e41a04194","company":{"id":30127,"name":"Loombotic","slug":"loombotic","url":"https://www.loombotic.com","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/03e05dcd715014e7e3ce539d4aef2abf9ef621e2.png","batch":"Fall 2024","industry":"Industrials","tags":["Manufacturing"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/30127"}}
