ENGINEERING SOFTWARE & AUTOMATION
Retsof Solutions designs and builds bespoke software for CAD, CAM, CAE and PLM environments — automating repetitive work, connecting engineering systems and turning specialist processes into reliable tools.

A MORE EFFICIENT ENGINEERING ENVIRONMENT
We build software around your existing engineering environment — reducing repetitive tasks, enforcing consistency and giving engineers better tools without forcing them to change the systems they already rely on.
AUTOMATE
Turn repetitive engineering processes into reliable workflows.
INTEGRATE
Connect CAD, simulation, manufacturing and PLM systems.
EXTEND
Build specialist capabilities directly into the engineering tools your teams already use.
CAPABILITIES
From focused utilities to production engineering platforms, Retsof develops software that sits close to the engineering process itself.
SELECTED WORK
The best engineering software often starts with a process that works — but takes too long, requires too much specialist knowledge or doesn’t scale.
RS / 001
Built tooling to automate geometry preparation and validation for downstream simulation, replacing repetitive manual preparation with a consistent engineering workflow.
NXOpen · CAD · CAE · Automation
Less manual preparation. Greater consistency. Faster iteration.
RS / 002
Extended an existing CAM environment with custom automation for complex manufacturing processes, allowing engineering rules to be applied directly during toolpath creation.
NX CAM · Robotics · C# · Manufacturing
Engineering knowledge embedded directly into the manufacturing process.
RS / 003
Developed software connecting engineering applications with product lifecycle data, reducing manual transfer of information between engineering systems.
Teamcenter · NX · PLM · Integration
Less duplication. Better traceability. Fewer manual hand-offs.
TECHNOLOGY
Retsof combines software engineering with practical understanding of engineering workflows, allowing us to work deeper inside specialist engineering systems than a conventional software consultancy.
SIEMENS NX
NXOpen
Teamcenter
Simcenter
Abaqus
C# / .NET
C++
Python
Azure DevOps
We are particularly focused on environments where engineering domain knowledge and software engineering need to exist in the same team.
OUR PROCESS
Retsof can support anything from a focused automation tool to a long-term engineering software programme.
01
Start with the engineering process, not the software specification.
02
Identify where automation creates value while preserving the engineering decisions that matter.
03
Develop maintainable software that integrates with your existing engineering environment.
04
Validate with engineers, deploy into production and refine using real-world feedback.
ABOUT RETSOF
Retsof Solutions is a specialist engineering software consultancy founded on experience delivering engineering automation and custom software across demanding engineering environments including motorsport, aerospace and energy.
We work at the intersection of engineering and software — understanding not just how to build the application, but the engineering process it needs to support.
Software engineer and engineering technology leader specialising in CAD, CAM, CAE and PLM automation.
