Software to Enhance Your Toolbox
It serves as a tool to small and medium teams from 1 to 50 people strong.The software we build is as individual as the products you build for your customers.
Let's talk and drill down on your needs and specifications.
Product Lifecycle Tools for Physical Products
to automate 🧮 across your entireproduct design, sales and fabrication processes
Product Design
Automate design iterations, set design constraints, and generate visualizations on the fly.
Sales
Automate quotations of configured, custom and customized designs.
Manufacturing
Automate the generation and enrichment of the data you need for the production physical products.
To leverage your Design and Engineering Workflows
with your Customers and across your Teams
Imagine, that every time someone changes your product and fits them to their needs, you get all the data for your entire operation automatically: From sales and marketing, to engineering and production.
We think this is how Product-Lifecycle-Management (PLM) should look like:
- Gather the requirements and specification definitions easily.
- Generate the product design and the product data with it.
- Automate the entire process with every single iteration.
- Generate and prepare all the manufacturing data for production.
One source of truth for all your product design data across functions and teams.
Did you know, that one of the first PLM Systems was developed by American Motors Corporation? They were looking to speed up their product development process to compete better against their larger competitors: Lacking the "massive budgets of General Motors, Ford, and foreign competitors … AMC placed R&D emphasis on bolstering the product life cycle of its prime products," particularly their Jeeps.
How? By introducing a new communication system along their Computer-aided design (CAD) software, that allowed conflicts to be resolved faster, as well as reducing costly engineering changes because all drawings and documents were in a central database, connecting everyone involved in designing and building products.

Empower your team, your customers,
and your business
You know how hard it is to be limited by physical constraints. You business can't grow because your suppliers have too little output or too high a premium on flexibility that your customers won't pay. Highly skilled workers are hard to find and an investment in a total automated operation with robots not feasible for every custom manufacturing process.
Let's go ahead and scale what you already have: Your workforce and their ability and your customers and their ability. Make use of technology, help your customers expressing themselves in what they want. And for your workforce view software as a tool in their toolbox that helps them do their job better and getting freed from all the tedious and error-prone tasks.
Software is the modern day steam engine. Designed well it can be used by your consumer or commercial customers, your sales team and engineering department. The most complex steam tractor can be driven by a novice if the dashboard is designed well: Less wobbly buttons, more gas pedal. Which equals to constraint design choices (individualization and mass-customization) and charging a premium for the special outliers (bespoke, custom and craft).

Interactive 2D and 3D
Visual Computing
Use Coshape for processing, analysis and rendering of visual information.
Tap into your design and engineering data all the way. Solve your practical problems like the use of real data and consumerized applications. Coshape is the next step towards systems fit for real use in all areas using images or 3D objects on the computer.
Collaboration
to get feedback, collaborate and get approval on product designs
Design + Engineering Data
Creation, modification, analysis, and optimization of design information
use for engineering of 3D models or 2D drawings of physical components
use throughout the engineering process from conceptual design and layout of products
use for strength and dynamic analysis of assemblies to definition of manufacturing methods of components
use to design objects such as jewelry, furniture, appliances, etc.
make use of advanced rendering and animation capabilities to visualize your product designs
lower your product development costs and shortened your design cycle.
Bring all the data you need for manufacturing together.
Coshape helps you collect all the relevant data you need to produce a physical object and turn that into manufacturing ready data. And while we're at it we'll generate a quote and customer approval along the way.
If you do custom manufacturing whether, jewelry or fenestration, you know how cumbersome it can be to collect all the right information from your customer, write a decent quote that you won't loose money on and they can sign off on, and finally to turn all of that into a work order to get it onto the shop floor and into production fast.
Coshape organizes your custom manufacturing operation so your skilled teams can focus on creating value, know what to do, why it matters, and how to get it done.

Do you...
...deal with many iterations in your product development?
Manage, manipulate, analyze, and verify your product designs along every iteration you, your partners, or your customers initiate. Does your product development lifecycle rely on input from different sources? The more complex the process the more we love it.
...rely on customer input for your production?
And your customers don't know exactly what you need form them and you have to explain every time anew?
...have lots of back-and-forth communication with stakeholders?
And information gets lost and then you have to search phone notes and email threads and back on the envelope scribbles?
...experience tedious and repetitive tasks?
that bore you out and are rather error prone? Instead you and your skilled workforce should be working on something value creating.
...love design automation?
But think it is not affordable for the smaller manufacturing businesses?
...want eCommerce for custom-made products?
Do you want to sell your custom-made products but shy away from the complexity of eCommerce systems, quotation, and the extra barrier of online communication?
What it Needs to Build a Death Star
The Death Star, a pictorial great example for making the case pretty clear around the ask: “What would a CAD system of the future have to look like. A CAD system capable of handling the complex projects we work on today. What would allow us to be able to implement something like this, something as complex as a death star although in its structure it is but basically just a simple sphere”.
