# Prototyping.io

> Prototyping.io is a San Francisco startup (YC Spring 2026) building an AI-native manufacturing platform that turns CAD designs into finished mechanical parts in as little as one day. It automates the traditionally manual path from design to production - DFM analysis, sourcing, process planning, machine programming and setups - so hardware teams can iterate in days instead of weeks. The company serves customers from early-stage startups to multi-billion-dollar enterprises across robotics, AI infrastructure, energy, automotive and defense.

- **Founded:** 2026
- **Headquarters:** San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founders:** Revanth Bodepudi (Founder & CEO), Prerit Oberai (Co-founder & CTO)
- **Team size:** 2
- **Products:** AI CAD-to-part platform, CNC Machining, Sheet Metal, 3D Printing, Injection Molding, Extrusion & Die Casting
- **Notable:** Accepted into Y Combinator's Spring 2026 (P26) batch, Delivering parts with tolerances down to ±0.0002" and no minimum order quantity, Reported ~$400k in monthly revenue at launch

## Products & services

- **AI CAD-to-part platform** — Upload a CAD file and the platform extracts features, evaluates manufacturability (DFM), determines the optimal process and machine, generates the machine program, and delivers finished parts.
- **CNC Machining** — 3-, 4-, and 5-axis milling, turning, and EDM with tolerances down to ±0.0002" and no minimum order quantity.
- **Sheet Metal** — On-demand sheet metal fabrication routed through the automated workflow.
- **3D Printing** — Additive manufacturing for rapid prototypes across a range of materials.
- **Injection Molding, Extrusion & Die Casting** — Additional production processes for early production runs and scale-up.

## Achievements

- Accepted into Y Combinator's Spring 2026 (P26) batch
- Delivering parts with tolerances down to ±0.0002" and no minimum order quantity
- Reported ~$400k in monthly revenue at launch
- Cutting hardware iteration cycles from weeks to days for multi-billion-dollar customers
