The story

Alex and Jordan are building a smart home gadget in a garage. Every time the circuit board changes, the enclosure has to be redrawn, and each round takes weeks they don't have.

With parts described in code and boards drafted with AI help, the enclosure follows the board automatically. A shared workspace lets them and their AI assistants look at every change together.

They print a new version most Fridays now, and their investors have noticed.

What it makes possible

  • Enclosures update when the board changes
  • Every board revision checked by an engineer
  • A full history of every design decision
  • More versions tested before tooling
