About Company

REV1 automates the creation of manufacturing-ready 2D drawings from 3D CAD files. Mechanical engineers spend 25%+ of their time manually creating these drawings, a tedious but critical step for every manufactured part. REV1 reduces that process from hours to minutes, generating drawings with proper annotations and tolerancing so engineers can focus on design instead of documentation.
