The ideal software for
engineering calculations
A new kind of ‘spreadsheet’ for engineers that saves time and improves quality
Start my first calculation
Engineers have depended on Excel, which is prone to mistakes, for vital calculations.
Alternatives like Mathcad are cumbersome and less productive.
Blockpad, with spreadsheets and math documents together, avoids mistakes and saves time.
Blockpad is familiar
It works like word processors, spreadsheets, and drawing software you already know.
Clear and productive
Keep track of units and show your equations. It’s as clear as writing it out by hand, but automated.
Do more with formulas
You already know formulas that link spreadsheet cells. Now link sketches and documents too.
A cohesive platform
When your tools do more, your company can do more.
