CAD Automation
Custom iLogic, macros and scripts that erase manual repetition inside Inventor.
- Auto flange & nozzle insertion
- Excel ↔ CAD data sync
- Drawing numbering & revisions
- Parametric vessel / tank templates

The problem
Your best people are doing work that should be automated.
Across engineering offices, plants and design shops, the same hours leak away in CAD, in paperwork, in tracking who's doing what.
01
Manual repetition. Numbering drawings, inserting flanges and nozzles, building BOMs by hand.
02
No standardization. Every project and client reinvents the same templates and conventions.
03
Revision chaos. IFC → AFC → As-Built handled without any automation or control.
04
Scattered tools. Progress tracked in spreadsheets, status chased over email, no single source of truth.
What we build
Three ways we save you time.
From CAD scripts to full internal tools — productized so you can start small, prove the savings, and scale across the company.
AI for Design
Assistants trained on your standards that check, classify and document the work.
- ASME / EN 13480 design checks
- Isometric & P&ID reading (OCR)
- Auto technical reports & memos
- Heavy IFC model review
Productivity Apps
Purpose-built internal tools that replace spreadsheets and email chains.
- Revision-aware document management
- Gantt & project tracking
- Custom dashboards & workflows
- Built to fit your existing tools
How a project runs
From a painful workflow to shipped automation.
A fixed-scope path that de-risks the first engagement and proves ROI on your own drawings.
01
Discovery call
We meet to identify the projects and needs where we can help.
02
Demo & proposal
We show early progress and come back with a quote.
03
Build
Once started, the project runs through 4 stages to final delivery.
04
Rollout & training
Delivered and handed over with hands-on training for your team.
05
Maintenance
Ongoing support and updates, if you need it.

Client case · confidential
A drawing office that could never tell which revision was current.
An industrial engineering client came to us with hundreds of drawings spread across shared folders and email threads — the classic "Rev2_final_v3" problem. We built DocVault: a revision-aware document system, delivered in a single working session.
1working session from spec to running system, no backlog in between
0drawings lost — every prior revision kept, current one always flagged
PDF+DWGcompanion files auto-grouped under the same revision, no manual tagging
Who's behind SPM
Engineering depth, not generic IT.
SPM is led by a senior mechanical design engineer who has spent 15+ years in EPC and industrial-equipment environments — pressure vessels, tanks and piping — and writes the automation himself. That dual expertise is rare, and it's the whole point.
Based in Belgium, working across Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland, with deep knowledge of the standards your auditors actually care about.

Questions
The things engineers ask first.
For a pilot, a single representative part and its spec sheet is usually enough. AI tools can be deployed inside your own infrastructure so data never leaves your environment.
Inventor + iLogic is the deepest specialty, but the automation skills are platform-aware. Python, IFC and AI workflows are largely CAD-agnostic, so we adapt to your stack.
Pilots are fixed-scope and fixed-price. You see the full estimate before any work starts — no hourly billing surprises.
A focused automation pilot is usually mapped, built and demoed on your own drawings within a few weeks — quantified against the hours it replaces.
