Where mechanical design
becomes intelligence.
MechLAB is a web hub of mechanical engineering tools where the rigor of mechanics meets digital analysis: measure liner wear, reverse engineer gears, convert drawings to DXF, nest ceramic tiles and verify bolted and welded joints, all under one account and paying only for what you run.
Engineering tools you can use today
WearSection
I analyze and predict 2D wear straight from your liner's cross-section. Upload your section view — I'll take it from there.
5 tokens per runTile Nesting
I optimize the layout of regular and irregular pieces alike — I'm not your standard nesting algorithm.
2 tokens per runDrawing → DXF
Simple: hand me a PDF drawing, and I'll give you back that same drawing, fully editable, in DXF.
3 tokens per runGearScan
Hand me your gear's measurements — vernier readings or a digitized flank profile — and I'll reverse-engineer how it was made: module or diametral pitch, pressure angle, profile shift and helix angle, ranked by likelihood with error margins.
5 tokens per runGaugeX
I'm the analysis engine behind a measuring tape on steroids — I make quality control on mass-produced parts stop being tedious.
FreeBoltCheck
Nobody wants to assemble a machine without knowing the bolt will hold. I make sure it will.
3 tokens per runWeldCheck
Nobody wants to lay a weld without knowing the joint will hold. I make sure it will.
3 tokens per runComing soon
SurfScan
Surface analysis by finite differences for reverse engineering or quality control.

Frequently asked questions
What is MechLAB?
MechLAB is a web hub of tools for mechanical engineers. It brings design, data analysis and prediction together under one account: liner wear analysis, gear reverse engineering, drawing-to-DXF conversion, tile nesting, dimensional quality reports and bolted and welded joint verification.
How do tokens work?
Every new account starts with 10 welcome tokens. Each analysis costs a few tokens (2 to 5 today) and GaugeX is free. Token purchases are coming soon.
Which tools can I use today?
WearSection, GearScan, Tile Nesting, GaugeX, BoltCheck, WeldCheck and the Drawing to DXF converter. SurfScan is coming soon.
Is my data private?
Runs, uploads and reports are stored under your account and can only be opened while you are logged in. Tile Nesting runs entirely in your browser.
Do I need to install anything?
No. You use every tool straight from your browser. You only need an account.
Can I rely on the results for production work?
The tools support engineering decisions, but critical results should always be verified against your own standards and field measurements.
