Sometimes the hardest part of CAD design isn’t the part itself but making it quick and easy to reuse and/or modify in the future. I’ve seen smart engineers struggle with messy feature trees, broken references, and CAD files that only make sense to the person who created them. We’ve all been there and know how frustrating it can be.   In this article, I’ll walk through what makes CAD models hard to understand, what information should always be included,…

Sometimes I get asked what the best materials are to prototype with. My typical answer is that it depends. So, I wrote down what it depends on. Hopefully this article helps you understand what prototyping materials to use and when.   5 Things to Consider Before You Start Prototyping 1. Your Testing & Validation Approach First, it’s important not to get too attached to your…

We just got back from CES 2026, and we’re still sorting through everything we saw.   Rather than summarizing every booth and headline, we did something simple: we asked two teammates to share their biggest takeaways from the week.   Below, each section is written in the author’s own voice. If you’re deciding what to build next, what tech is worth…

There are multiple factors to consider,…
