Hardware project management, built around your CAD model
Hardware projects are unlike software. Every part has material properties, tolerances, and physical constraints. Forces act on components. Suppliers have lead times. SysHub brings your entire hardware workflow — from CAD to production — into one place, with your assembly at the center.

Features
Built for the complexity of physical products
Software PM tools weren't built for hardware. SysHub understands material properties, physical structure, supplier chains, and the reality of managing parts — not just tickets.
Project & Product Management
Organize hardware projects with descriptions, file attachments, and links. Upload STEP/STP files as products and manage them with full version history.
- STEP/STP file uploads
- File & link attachments
- Archive & restore products
Interactive CAD Viewer
Inspect assemblies in a browser-based CAD viewer. Navigate the part hierarchy, select components, and explore your design from every angle — no plugins required.
- Browser-based CAD viewer
- Assembly tree navigator
- Part selection & hover highlight
Part-Level Task Management
Track work at the project level with kanban-style columns. Or go deeper: select any part in the CAD viewer and create tasks, notes, files, and links directly on it — right where the engineering context lives.
- Project-level kanban board
- Per-part tasks inside the CAD viewer
- Assignees, files & link attachments
Supplier & Production Awareness
Attach datasheets, supplier links, and production notes to individual parts. Keep material specs, tolerances, and procurement info exactly where your team needs it.
- Attach files & links per part
- Track material & supplier info
- Assign classes to parts
Team Collaboration
Invite teammates by email with viewer or editor roles. Set granular permissions at the account or project level and manage pending invites with ease.
- Email-based invites
- Viewer & editor roles
- Granular permissions
Version History & Diffs
Every STEP file upload creates a new version. Compare any two versions side-by-side to see exactly what changed — added parts, removed components, and structural differences.
- Full upload version history
- Side-by-side version diffs
- Restore any previous version
How It Works
From STEP file to full project context in minutes
Hardware projects have layers of complexity. SysHub gives you the structure to manage all of it — from the assembly down to the individual part.
Upload your STEP file
Create a project, add a product, and upload your STEP or STP CAD file. Our cloud pipeline automatically converts it to an optimized 3D model — no plugins or local software needed.
Conversion typically completes in under a minute.
Inspect in the CAD viewer
Open the interactive CAD viewer to explore your assembly. Navigate the part tree, select components, toggle explode view, and switch render modes — all in the browser.
Attach notes, files, links, and tasks directly to individual parts inside the CAD viewer — material specs, supplier docs, stress notes, whatever the part needs.
Collaborate across your whole team
Invite mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, procurement, and manufacturing partners with viewer or editor roles. Manage tasks on a kanban board, assign work, and track progress — all linked to the actual parts in your assembly.
Collaborators see pending invites on their dashboard and can accept or decline instantly.
CAD Viewer
CAD-quality inspection, right in your browser
No plugins. No downloads. A full-featured WebGL viewer with B-Rep edge wireframes, explode view, cross-section, and more.
Create & manage tasks directly on any part — without leaving the CAD viewer
Click a part in the CAD viewer, open its info panel, and instantly create tasks, set assignees, attach files, and track status — all in context, right next to the geometry you're working on. No tab switching, no lost context.

Tasks Right in the Viewport
★ Key FeatureSelect any part and create, assign, and track tasks without leaving the CAD viewer — no context switching.
Collaboration
Built for cross-functional hardware teams
Hardware projects involve more than one discipline — mechanical, electrical, procurement, manufacturing, and external suppliers. Invite everyone with exactly the access they need, at the account level or per-project.
Email-based invites
Send invites to any email address. Collaborators receive a notification and can accept or decline from their dashboard.
Viewer & editor roles
Viewers can inspect projects and the CAD viewer. Editors can make changes — with fine-grained permission toggles.
Account & project scopes
Grant access to all your projects at once or limit it to a single project — ideal for external suppliers or contract manufacturers who only need to see one product.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before getting started.
What CAD file formats does SysHub support?
SysHub currently supports STEP (.step) and STP (.stp) files — the most widely used neutral CAD exchange format.
Is SysHub really free? What's the catch?
Yes — SysHub is completely free to use with no credit card required. You get unlimited projects, the full CAD viewer, task management, and team collaboration at no cost. We may introduce paid plans for advanced features in the future, but existing users will always be grandfathered.
How does the CAD viewer work? Do I need to install anything?
The CAD viewer runs entirely in your browser using WebGL. There are no plugins, browser extensions, or desktop apps to install. Any modern browser on desktop or laptop works — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari are all supported.
How is my data kept secure and private?
All data is stored in Firebase (Firestore + Cloud Storage) with strict security rules that ensure you can only access your own projects and files. Collaborators only see what you explicitly share with them. Files are stored in isolated, user-scoped storage buckets.
Can I invite my team to collaborate on a project?
Yes. You can invite teammates by email and assign them viewer or editor roles. Editors can be given granular permissions (upload files, manage tasks, invite others, etc.). You can grant access at the account level (all projects) or limit it to a single project for external contractors.
What happens after I upload a STEP file?
Once uploaded, our cloud pipeline (running on Google Cloud Functions) automatically parses the STEP file and extracts the assembly hierarchy and geometry. This typically completes in under a minute. You'll then be able to open the interactive CAD viewer immediately.
Can I attach tasks, files, and notes to individual parts?
Yes — this is one of SysHub's key differentiators. Inside the CAD viewer, you can click any part in the assembly, open its info panel, and create tasks, attach files, add links, write notes, and assign a class — all in context, right next to the geometry you're working on — material specs, supplier links, stress notes, production requirements, whatever the part needs.
How is SysHub different from tools like Jira or Linear?
Generic project management tools were designed for software teams. They have no concept of physical parts, material properties, tolerances, forces, or supplier chains. SysHub is built around your CAD assembly — you can attach tasks, notes, files, and links directly to individual parts in the CAD viewer, at the project, product, or part level. It's the context that hardware teams actually need.
