A browser-native design-to-production platform spanning more than ten craft trades.

Pixie Space is browser-native CAD that takes a craftsperson’s work from 2D design through to production, on one platform rather than a separate surface per trade.

The market

• Design-to-production capability already exists, but only in install-bound desktop suites that run into five figures, one per trade.
• At that price it is out of reach for most of the people who make things.
• The web alternatives are approximate and stop at the drawing, with no path to production.
• So makers either pay enterprise prices, or do the production work, the layout, the scaling, the machine prep, by hand.
• Across more than ten trades, that is a large and genuinely underserved market.

The platform

• One platform takes a design from the first line through to finished, makeable output.
• It spans more than ten distinct trades, each with its own materials, tolerances, and production methods.
• It does the production work the desktop suites do, and automates steps even they still leave to be done by hand.
• Every trade is a surface on one shared platform, so the work, the file, and the tools stay consistent across trades.

The engineering

Three substantial systems, integrated into one:

• Professional-grade CAD running entirely in a browser.
• Interoperability with the formats professionals already exchange, so it fits real workflows rather than replacing them.
• A foundation that lets more than ten distinct trades share one platform instead of fragmenting into separate surfaces.

The approach

The decisive work happened before any code:

• Defining what the platform has to match to stand in for five-figure desktop software.
• Choosing which capabilities earn their place first, so the platform is useful early rather than complete late.
• Designing the foundation so a new trade extends the system instead of forking it, the difference between one platform across ten trades and ten separate surfaces that share a logo.

Implementation and shipping were the last step.

Background

• Built single-handed from nothing to a live product, starting 10 April 2026.
• Owned end to end: domain research, product design, system architecture, implementation, deployment.
• The core is live; the platform is building outward from there.
• Design-to-Production products are coming live one-by-one.
