Engineering Software & Tools for Mechanical and Manufacturing Design
Mechanitec builds focused tools for manufacturing engineers and mechanical designers. Our first app,
Work Order Checker, helps you review large work‑order spreadsheets in minutes instead of hours —
with more tools on the way.
Featured tool
Work Order Checker
Fast work‑order spreadsheet filtering and rule‑based checks for manufacturing teams.
- Open Excel, CSV, TSV, or text work‑order exports and see only the rows you care about.
- Build reusable “column contains text” rules instead of fragile one‑off Excel filters.
- Export an Excel workbook with per‑rule sheets and a statistics summary for the shop floor.

Choose by role or use case
For manufacturing & work‑order reviewers
Make sure every work order is complete before it hits the shop floor and get clear counts by part family.
For Excel users who review work orders
Keep Excel for final output but move repetitive checking logic into a dedicated tool.
For small & mid‑size fabrication shops
Standardize how your team reads customer work orders without investing in a full MES or ERP add‑on.

Frequently asked questions
What operating systems do you support?
Work Order Checker is a Windows desktop app distributed through the Microsoft Store and supports Windows 10 and
Windows 11. Future tools will also target Windows first, with browser‑based utilities where it makes sense.
Do I need SolidWorks installed?
No. Work Order Checker works with standard spreadsheet exports (Excel, CSV, TSV, text) from your ERP, MRP, or
customer. It does not require any specific CAD system.
How is licensing handled?
Work Order Checker is currently free to download and use. Future tools may be free or paid, but all desktop apps
will be delivered through the Microsoft Store so licensing and updates stay simple.
How do I get support or request features?
You can use the feedback option on the Microsoft Store listing or reach out through the
contact form. Feature requests from working engineers are especially welcome.
