“After spending a lot of time using AutoCAD, I decided to look for better alternatives because of its computer modeling, graphic design, and 3-D modeling limitations. I was a bit skeptical on the thought of finding a better alternative until I came across your program, and I was completely blown away on how affordable, easy to use and functional it is. The functionality and usability of its engineering tools (Mech-Q) are way better than what I had previously imagined. There was no learning curve needed to navigate the software and no limitations while using the software. It makes my job much easier and faster too. I really wish I had found this earlier.”

Matt Davis,  Santee Cooper
