Why Magnolab software

Made by a working engineering studio

Built from real project work

Magnolab does simulation, CAD and product design for clients every day. These tools come out of that work, not out of a feature checklist.

Runs on your own machine

Desktop-first tools that do not depend on a cloud account to get your work done.

Straight about the limits

Every product page says what is solid, what is Beta, and what is not covered — so you can decide with real information.

Direct support

Questions go to the people who build the software. Email us and we’ll walk through your use case.
