I’ve been interested in possibly pursuing a new business opportunity doing this. I’ve noticed that almost every single company is interested in automation, however very few people within the company are actually able to do something along these lines as it’s a twofold problem: you need someone that’s extremely proficient in both CAD software and coding. And I’m not talking about just configurable parts, I’m talking full assemblies that have logic built into them, capable of updating or generating full drawings.

So I really wanted to gauge how often you guys have been exposed to it, and I wanted to know how many people in your company are likely even capable of doing it.

In my company of around 50-60 engineers, there are about 3. The third one would likely struggle a bit, but he’d likely be able to figure things out after enough time on forums.
