# FDES Technologies: Engineering Design Automation
# https://fdestech.com
# Last updated: 2026

FDES Technologies builds production-grade engineering design automation for CAD-driven manufacturing companies. Founded in 2007 by a mechanical engineer, the company eliminates repetitive CAD work by embedding engineering logic directly into automated systems, generating accurate drawings, BOMs, calculations, and quotes at scale. Serving 20+ countries.

## What We Do
- **Product Configurators (CPQ)**: Sales-to-engineering automation. Users configure complex products via web or desktop interfaces; the system generates CAD models, drawings, BOMs, and pricing automatically.
- **Variant Drawing Automation**: Rule-driven generation of drawing variants from parametric master templates. Reduces days of drafting to minutes.
- **Engineering Calculations & Reports**: Automating Excel-based calculation workflows into validated, CAD-integrated systems that produce professional reports.
- **CAD Customization & Plug-in Development**: Custom commands, panels, add-ins, and macros for AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, and Revit, upgrade-safe and maintainable.
- **Autodesk Platform Services (APS)**: Cloud-based product configurators, 3D web viewers, and automated drawing generation using Autodesk's cloud APIs (formerly Autodesk Forge). No CAD licenses required for end users.

## Core Differentiators
- Engineering-led (not IT-led): built by engineers who understand CAD systems deeply
- Production-grade: not scripts or one-off macros but structured, version-controlled, documented code
- Long-term ownership: tools are maintainable and transferable without vendor lock-in
- Native CAD APIs: tools feel like part of the CAD platform, not external add-ons
