The problem
An engineering shop's CAD review lived in folders and email threads: wrong versions on the floor, rework nobody caught early.
What it couldn't break
Couldn't change the CAD tools the team designs in. Had to work for people who don't live in software all day.
The approach
We turned review into a guided on-screen workflow: versioned, checked, and obvious at a glance — one source of truth from model to shop floor.
What we built
A review layer over the existing files: versioning, checklists, and sign-off without leaving the screen.
What changed
From CAD file to factory floor without the telephone game — fewer redraws, faster sign-off.
