What our customers say about us

Wikifactory has been a fantastic new tool for our leadership team and our startups. Agnostic, web-based CAD viewing saves us money on CAD licenses, optimizes our file share, and easily exports to other cross-platform file types. Wikifactory is our new catch-all CAD & prototyping tool.

Deanna Kocher

Assistant Director, Rev Ithaca

With projects, content, and community all-in-one place, we’ve been able to see a great evolution of our products. Plus, the robust version control is intuitive for product designers. Wikifactory is highly recommended for designers and engineers who want to take product development to the next stage.

Camilo Parra Palacio

The Wikifactory service is amongst the best I’ve ever experienced. The transparency and communication throughout the manufacturing process were outstanding. I received regular production status updates, ensuring I was always in the loop. I’m making the most our of this ecosystem.
