Why Marathon

Outsource CAD without the hiring overhead

You send requirements → we match a vetted designer → you get production-ready deliverables. No recruitment, no overhead, no delays.

Vetted Designers Only

Every designer on our platform passes a multi-stage vetting — tool proficiency tests, portfolio review, and trial project. You only ever work with proven professionals.

Flexible Engagement

Scale up or down as your project needs shift. Pick hourly for ad-hoc work, fixed-price for scoped projects, or a monthly retainer when you need dedicated capacity.

Production-Ready Outputs

Native CAD files, full export packages, and manufacturing-ready drawing packs — delivered with zero revision surprises. What ships from us, ships to your factory.

What our clients actually say

Engineering teams, product designers, and BIM managers who've shipped with Marathon.

★★★★★

Marathon cut our CAD turnaround by 60%. We were struggling to keep pace with our product roadmap — two engineers were bottlenecked just on 3D modeling. Within a week of onboarding Marathon, we had a dedicated SolidWorks designer who understood our tolerancing standards from day one. The files were production-ready, GD&T was clean, and not a single part came back from our CM with a query. We've been on their monthly retainer for 8 months and I'd recommend them to any hardware team that wants to move fast without burning out their internal team.

Their Revit team integrated seamlessly. LOD 300 models were accurate, well-organized, and saved us weeks of internal effort on a brutal project deadline. We're now using them as a permanent overflow resource.

We sent a sketch on a napkin and a WhatsApp voice note explaining the concept. Three days later we had a fully-dimensioned Fusion 360 model ready for prototyping. Genuinely impressive.

As an automotive supplier, our tolerances are unforgiving. Marathon matched us with a CATIA V5 specialist who understood GD&T at a professional level. No hand-holding required — they just got it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

How fast can you start?
Most projects kick off within 24–72 hours of submitting your requirement. Once we scope and quote your project, a designer is assigned the same day you approve.
Which CAD tools do you support?
We support 15+ tools including SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Fusion 360, Creo, CATIA, NX, Revit, Inventor, ANSYS, and more. Just tell us your stack.
Who owns the IP?
You do. 100%. All deliverables, source files, and design data are fully transferred to you upon payment. We retain no rights.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. We sign mutual NDAs before project kick-off. All designers on our platform are bound by confidentiality agreements. Request one at any time.
Can you work from sketches or photos?
Absolutely. We work from hand sketches, photos, napkin drawings, PDFs, or verbal descriptions. If you can communicate the intent, we can model it.
What file formats will I get?
Native CAD format of your choice, plus STEP, IGES, STL, DWG, and PDF exports as required. We'll confirm the exact package during scoping.
How do revisions work?
Revision rounds are defined in your quote upfront. We don't surprise you with extra charges. If scope changes significantly, we'll renegotiate transparently before proceeding.
How do you estimate cost and timeline?
After you submit your requirement, we scope with you (async or a quick call), then present a fixed quote with delivery timeline. No hourly surprises unless you choose hourly.
Do you support long-term engagement?
Yes — our Monthly Retainer model gives you a dedicated designer, priority turnaround, and volume pricing for teams with continuous CAD needs.
