How Stride Robotics Reduced CAD-Related Delays by 70% Using Bench
Bench helped Stride Robotics cut design loop times by 70%, automate CAD revisions across interlinked systems, and confidently test 3x more leg configurations per week — all without leaving their existing toolchain.
Overview
Bench helped Stride Robotics cut design loop times by 70%, automate CAD revisions across interlinked systems, and confidently test 3x more leg configurations per week — all without leaving their existing toolchain.
Automatic CAD revisions.
Accelerate design cycles using AI CAD. Identify changes, update assemblies, and maintain version accuracy—reducing effort and errors.
Stride aims to empower field engineers and design teams to collaboratively test multiple gait and limb configurations each week. Their objectives include:
- Automating CAD updates to reduce manual errors and ensure consistency.
- Streamlining coordination across teams to enhance compatibility checks.
- Maintaining strict control over assembly and torque constraints during part updates.
About Stride
Stride Robotics is a Bangalore- and Zurich-based startup developing rugged, reconfigurable legged robots for industrial terrain inspection and delivery. Their platforms are designed to be modular — swappable legs, battery packs, and sensor heads — meaning tight coupling between mechanical, electrical, and control systems.
They work in Onshape for CAD, simulate dynamics in ROS/Gazebo, and rely on firmware adjustments to account for mass or torque changes
What Bench Helped With
Bench was integrated into their CAD + validation loop. Instead of passing STEP files and screenshots back and forth, teams could:.
Prompt Bench to change geometry (e.g., “shorten tibia link by 15mm”)
Automatically validate the change in the parent leg assembly
Check for clearance or load violations
Review pass/fail results across multiple candidate branches
Bench acted as a multi-agent assistant, tracking downstream dependencies and proposing valid options — so engineers could approve rather than redo.

“We used to avoid trying too many small geometry tweaks because it just meant hours of rework and team coordination. Now, we try more, not less — because Bench gives us options, not errors.”
