About Aurorin
Building the future faster
Engineering advances through iteration. Aurorin is rebuilding CAD so engineers can move from idea to feedback dramatically faster.
Our Mission
Make engineers orders of magnitude faster
Every breakthrough starts as an idea. The sooner that idea can be tested, understood, and improved, the faster progress happens.
But too often, engineers lose that momentum to tools that are slow, fragile, or difficult to change. The software gets in the way of the work.
Aurorin exists to shorten the distance between thinking and building.
Fast feedback
Cycle time is everything. The faster engineers can test ideas, the faster better products get built.
Tools should wait on you
Engineers should not spend their day waiting for software to load, rebuild, regenerate, or recover. The tool should be ready before the next thought arrives.
Focused by design
Great software does a few things exceptionally well. Aurorin is built around focused workflows, thoughtful design, and removing friction from the engineering process.
AI-native from the start
The best AI engineering tools will not be plugins bolted onto decades-old systems. They will be built from the ground up around new ways of designing.
Why CAD
CAD is where engineering ideas become real
Before a part is machined, a robot is assembled, a satellite is launched, or a medical device reaches a patient, it passes through CAD.
That makes CAD one of the highest-leverage places to improve engineering itself.
Aurorin is building a new CAD system from the ground up: a modern foundation for fast feedback, thoughtful design, and AI-native engineering workflows.

Michael Baron
Founder & CEO, Aurorin
Michael founded Aurorin after repeatedly seeing engineers lose time to software that stood between them and their work.
Before Aurorin, he worked on software and aerospace systems at SpaceX and Apple. Across those teams, he saw how much faster engineering becomes when great people have great tools — and how much time is lost when they do not.
