About Abdullah Elqabbany

Abdullah is an electromechanical engineer with years of experience in design and manufacturing. In his last role Abdullah led manufacturing process automation where he worked to bridge the gap between design and manufacturing. Prior to that, he worked as a drafter where he made thousands of CAD drawings shaping Toronto’s skyline. DraftAid is the culmination of years of experiences solving the biggest challenges facing teams trying to go from design to manufacturing as efficiently as possible.

Draftaid

DraftAid is the world's first generative AI for CAD manufacturing drawings, akin to GitHub Copilot but for CAD. It drastically shortens drawing creation time, turning hours into seconds.

Every product that is manufactured - from construction to aerospace, automotive, durable goods, and electronics—relies on drawings. Currently, engineers and designers painstakingly make these essential drawings manually. Draftaid streamlines this process saving teams millions in time and quality.

The idea was born out of Abdullah's experience as a mechanical design team member, where he created thousands of drawings and longed for a more efficient process. Partnering with Tahsin, a neighbour with a PhD in AI, and Mohammed, a seasoned engineering VP with experience in construction software, they turned the dream into reality.

Since their launch in August, DraftAid has engaged customers through targeted outreach and word-of-mouth, securing paid pilots with subsequent contracts valued at $150,000.

Be a part of ushering in the new era of CAD designs!
