Champion approvedIllustrative demo imageAbout this resource
Two CAD workstations with licensed SolidWorks and KeyShot, bookable by the day inside a working industrial design studio in Erode. Unlike renting software, you sit among nine practising designers, and every startup booking includes a review session with one of them. Founders use the studio to take napkin concepts to manufacturable CAD, prepare renders for buyer and investor decks, and fix design-for-manufacture problems before tooling quotes. The studio's design-for-manufacture clinics, run monthly, are open free to any startup that has booked studio hours that quarter.
- Licensed SolidWorks + KeyShot, no subscription needed
- Designer review included with every booking
- Monthly design-for-manufacture clinics
- Sit inside a working design studio, not a rental cubicle
