Bench AI is an AI automation platform focused on the engineering field, designed to automatically execute CAD, CAE, and PLM workflows through AI agents, helping engineering teams iterate faster and improve R&D efficiency.
Purpose: Bench's core purpose is to automate engineering design workflows. It allows engineers to generate and execute design workflows within their existing tool stack, thereby accelerating the process from concept to release. The platform emphasizes that there is no need to migrate away from the user's chosen CAD, CAE, and PLM tools; instead, it directly uses the software users are already familiar with and trust, just faster.
Main capabilities:
- End-to-end automated design workflows, covering all CAD and CAE tools.
- Deploy AI agents to scale impact without adding headcount.
- Retrieve context from the user's connected data sources, enabling the AI to behave like a well-trained engineer within the organization.
- Automate simple and complex design workflows, reducing iteration time from days to minutes.
- Free up engineers' energy so they can focus on truly impactful development work.
- Eliminate bottlenecks and accelerate the process from concept to release.
- Plug and play, connecting directly to existing CAD, CAE, and PLM tool stacks with no need to switch tools.
How to use: Bench works by connecting to the user's existing tools and data sources. Users can connect Bench to their CAD, CAE, and PLM software, after which AI agents generate and execute design workflows based on context. The platform provides an integrations view, and the specific integration list can be found on the official website. Users can also book a demo, where the founders will demonstrate Bench's capabilities.
Use cases:
- Simulation geometry preparation: eliminate the manual geometry preparation bottleneck and enable CAE teams to run more iterations simultaneously.
- Autonomous optimization: accelerate design cycles by automating tedious CAD edits, allowing engineers to focus on high-leverage tasks.
- STL to parametric CAD: autonomously reconstruct scanned and mesh models into fully parametric parts, providing engineers with clean, editable CAD.
Enterprise-grade features:
- Enterprise-grade security: the platform takes care of security, making engineering risk-free.
- Fine-grained roles and data ownership controls: supports custom role-based access control to ensure everyone has the correct permission level.
- Scalable global teams: whether an engineering team has 5 or 500 people, whether in one office or spread across the globe, Bench enables easy collaboration.
- Seamless review process: ensure feedback is not lost through the review process, and all voices are heard.
