Join the Aaratai – Design Through Engineering Community

Engineering is not meant to be done alone.

Aaratai is a learning-first community for mechanical students and working engineers who want to think deeper, design better, and grow together — beyond just software tutorials.

Inside the community, we:

Discuss real industry problems and design decisions

Share manufacturing insights that are never taught in college

Break down concepts like tolerance, GD&T, DFM, and design intent

Learn from real projects, mistakes, and field experience

Help each other grow — as engineers, not just CAD operators

This community is for:
Final-year mechanical students
Freshers entering industry
People who wants learn about mechanical Engineering
Working engineers moving into design roles

If you believe design comes from understanding engineering fundamentals, manufacturing reality, and application, you’ll feel at home here.
