Automotive, industrial, medical, consumer, aerospace, it doesn't matter what the product is. If it has a chip in it and more than a handful of engineers building it, the same hours are disappearing into the same manual work before real design starts.
A cost that's easy to miss because it's spread across everyone
Roughly 60 percent of design time is spent before CAD even opens, on the datasheet reading, the pin extraction, the footprint building, the tolerance guessing. It doesn't show up as one big number anywhere, it shows up as every engineer's Tuesday, quietly, across every team, on every program. And it compounds at the seams: between ECAD and MCAD, between design and simulation, between engineering and the PLM system tracking all of it.
Most engineering organizations are also under real pressure right now to show something for the AI investment leadership has already committed to, and most of them have nothing tangible to point to yet. This is the closest thing to a concrete, measurable answer to that pressure that touches engineering directly, without requiring engineering to change how it works.
See what Neurocad™ replaces
A datasheet goes in. Neurocad extracts the relevant dimensions, pin data, and geometry, then surfaces that extraction for intent review, an engineer confirms it before anything is generated, not after.
Geometry is resolved against IPC-7351 package specifications; pin data comes directly from the datasheet.
That review step is also your governance control: nothing enters your library without an engineer's sign-off, and the same confirmed intent produces the same result every time. So two engineers working from the same datasheet get the same output, not two slightly different judgment calls.
Once confirmed, you push the native, parametric asset directly to whatever ECAD or MCAD tool your team already runs. Nothing migrates. Your toolchain, the one you've already standardized on and already secured, stays exactly as it is.
Your proprietary design never leaves your computer. What travels across the network is the extracted intent, a description of what needs to be built, not the design itself. The finished asset lives on the engineer's own machine, and only there. Nothing pools into a shared system, and there's no copy of it sitting in Neurocad's cloud that you don't control.
Because nothing centralizes and no company-level data access is required, the security and data-governance review that usually gates a new tool at your scale is much shorter here, there's simply less surface area to evaluate. Each engineer's data stays on their own machine. Nothing pools into a shared company-level system. That makes it realistic to prove this out on a single component before anyone has to build a company-wide business case.
One part per month is enough to offset the cost of a seat. A team lead doesn't need a business case to justify that, they need one engineer willing to try it on their next component.
Neurocad™ is the engineering intent compiler that turns static design artifacts into native, parametric, design-ready assets across ECAD, MCAD, and simulation environments without format conversion or manual reconstruction. At your scale, that means the same hours currently lost across every engineer on every team get returned the same way they were lost, one component at a time, without a platform migration to plan around.
“People should not recreate digital information. There is no reason for this other than want of effort or misplaced investment in the products to make products. We fix it.”
— Matt Berggren, founder and CEO of Neurocad™
The current release proves the core capability: a datasheet in, a native asset out, with zero re-entry and no reconciliation step afterward. For a team evaluating this as a multi-year platform decision rather than a one-off trial, here is what's planned next, none of it live yet:
Where it works today
Altium, KiCad, OrCAD, Cadence Allegro, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Inventor, and OnShape.
Start with one engineer, one part
Free 14-day trial, card required to activate, you won't be charged until the trial ends. See what it does with a real component before anyone has to make a company-wide case for it.
