Mechanical Engineering Software
Mechanitec develops practical Windows software for mechanical engineering design and manufacturing work. Each tool is focused on a specific workflow problem: managing SOLIDWORKS file relationships more safely, reviewing BOM and work-order spreadsheets faster, or locating CAD data across large storage areas without wasting time on manual folder searches.
If your team works with CAD files, spreadsheet-based review, or release preparation, this is the best place to start.
Current software
LinkLattice
LinkLattice helps engineers and CAD administrators work with SOLIDWORKS file references more safely. Before you copy, move, or rename files, you can inspect child references and where-used relationships so file changes are more deliberate.
- review child references and where-used relationships before changing files
- run dependency-aware copy, move, and rename workflows
- keep the workflow local to your engineering workstation
Work Order Checker
Work Order Checker helps manufacturing teams review large work-order spreadsheets faster and more consistently. It is built for repeatable spreadsheet checks, filtered rule-based review, and cleaner export output without turning every file into a custom Excel project.
- open large work-order files and apply reusable checks
- inspect one filtered results grid per rule
- export structured Excel outputs for downstream review

BOM Checker
BOM Checker is built for teams reviewing large spreadsheet-based BOMs and similar release files. It supports repeatable rule-based checks and structured exports so review work becomes faster and less dependent on fragile manual filtering.
- load Excel, CSV, TSV, and TXT source files
- review one filtered grid per rule plus the full dataset
- export multi-sheet Excel, CSV, or JSON results while leaving originals untouched
CAD Finder
CAD Finder is a lightweight Windows app that scans selected drives and returns the folders that contain matching CAD files. It is useful when you need a faster way to locate design data across local, removable, or network storage.
- scan selected drives for the CAD extensions you care about
- exclude irrelevant folders and reduce discovery noise
- keep the process read-only and local
What these tools help with
- keeping CAD file references under control
- reviewing BOMs and work-order spreadsheets faster
- finding CAD files across local, removable, or network drives
- reducing repetitive manual work in engineering support tasks
Each product is focused on a specific workflow, but they are built around the same operating idea: reduce avoidable manual work in day-to-day engineering and manufacturing operations.
Who these tools are made for
- mechanical engineers
- SOLIDWORKS users and CAD administrators
- fabrication and manufacturing teams
- engineering operations teams working with files, spreadsheets, and release checks
