Roast my startup: Hardware design is a mess, so I built a system that unifies CAD, Electronics, and Code

The idea is from real struggle of makers -- sometime you buy your components or order a PCB, 3D-print the perfect case, and then... it doesn't fit. Maybe the motor is 2mm too long, or the mounting holes are off. Spent much time, plastic, and money because your CAD tools, electron components, and Code aren't talking to each other.

The Solution

A system that covers every step of the hardware design. We will provide:

  • Modular Hardware -- we designed plug-and-play electronic modules to help skip PCB design, SMT, and soldering.
  • Online design system -- Think of it like Minecraft for mechatronics. You drag modular components together to build your prototype, use AI prompts to bring it to life (e.g., 'Make the windmill spin'). You can also generate a printable shell, ensuring the electronic modules snap perfectly into the housing. Quickly validate your hardware ideas in this system.
  • From Screen to Reality -- follow the pre-verified blueprint >> print or make the case >> snap in our modules >> and it words

Target User

  • Makers & Engineers - greatly shorten their construction period, reduce the cost of trial and error.
  • Beginners - those who want to try building a cool electronic stuff but have no knowledge of circuit or coding.

Current Status > have successfully built a rough working demo.

Be brutal with what are we missing!

- will you be willing to pay for such the system combined with our modules?

- would you actually leave your Fusion 360/Altium/VS Code workflow for a unified system?what will be the biggest concerns for makers?

Thanks for reading!
