The IDO Concept
The Intellectual Design Office
A traditional engineering office is a pyramid: one senior engineer, a layer of specialized line engineers, and underneath them a fleet of junior operators driving CAD tools. IDO collapses the bottom three layers — line engineer, operator, and tool — into a single platform. Click IDO on any engineer below to watch the merge.
