Engineering productivity, built by engineers.

I'm a mechanical design engineer by trade, but Sibko didn't start because I wanted to create software.

It started because I became increasingly frustrated at spending valuable engineering time doing work that a computer should have been doing.

In engineering, we're taught that the difficult part is solving the problem. In reality, the difficult part is often repeating the solution hundreds of times. Creating drawing packs. Adding dimensions. Building weldment cut lists. Modelling lightening pockets. Preparing parts for manufacture. None of these tasks are particularly challenging, yet they consume an astonishing amount of time.

The irony is that modern CAD software is incredibly powerful. Most engineers already own tools capable of extraordinary things. Yet many spend hours every week performing repetitive operations manually because the final 10% of automation doesn't exist.

That's the gap Sibko aims to fill.

Every Sibko tool begins with a simple question:

"What would an experienced engineer do if they had unlimited patience?"

The answer is usually a process that is too repetitive, too tedious or too time-consuming to justify doing manually. So instead, I teach the computer how to do it once, properly.

That perspective comes from working across an unusually broad range of engineering environments. My background spans mechanical design, product development and manufacturing across industries ranging from paper and pulp, specialised powder production and handling, and large-scale plant, piping and machinery layout projects through to automotive, aerospace, steel structures, electrical hardware, composite products, production tooling and engineered mechanisms.

Working across such different industries taught me that while the products may change, the frustrations rarely do. Every industry has skilled engineers spending valuable time on repetitive tasks that add little value but somehow become part of the daily routine.

Throughout that journey I've always been drawn to practical engineering: the point where a design stops being a CAD model and becomes something that has to be manufactured, assembled, installed and ultimately paid for.

That's why Sibko focuses on manufacturing productivity rather than flashy features.

A feature that saves an engineer three minutes might sound insignificant. Save three minutes every day for a year and you've given them back more than a week of their working life. Multiply that across a team and the impact becomes surprisingly large.

Sibko exists for engineers who would rather spend their time solving problems than performing the same mouse clicks for the thousandth time.

If I can eliminate a tedious task from your workflow, even one that only takes a few minutes, then I've probably done something worthwhile.

After all, the easiest way to improve engineering productivity isn't to make engineers work faster.

It's to quietly remove the work that never needed to be done in the first place.
