About Mach9

Mach9 is a San Francisco-based software company whose AI CAD platform converts reality-capture data — LiDAR scans and imagery of roads, utilities and construction sites, collected with equipment survey teams already own — into draft engineering drawings. Surveyors and civil engineers upload scans; Mach9’s models detect and draft features such as breaklines, curbs, striping, poles, signs and surfaces at centimetre-level accuracy; engineers then fine-tune the draft in Mach9’s CAD tools, with built-in quality checks, and export to DXF, DGN, Esri or field-to-finish survey formats. The company says this turns weeks of manual drafting into hours.

Mach9 began in 2021 as Mach9 Robotics, founded at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute, initially to improve visual inspection for civil engineers. Concluding that hardware was not the bottleneck, it dropped ‘Robotics’ from the name and pivoted to software. According to the company, nearly 100 customers in private beta have used the software on more than 2,500 projects in all 50 US states, surveying over 100,000 miles of infrastructure corridors; named customers include engineering firms WSP, HNTB and NV5 and transportation agencies Caltrans, the Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Maryland State Highway Administration. In October 2026 Mach9 announced a US$34 million Series A co-led by First Round Capital and Bessemer Venture Partners, bringing total funding to US$49 million.

Products & services

• AI feature extraction — automatic drafting of curbs, breaklines, striping, poles, signs and surfaces from point clouds and imagery.
• Web-based CAD editor — engineers review and refine AI drafts, with built-in QC flags, in the browser.
• Reality-capture import — system-agnostic intake of mobile, terrestrial and drone scan data (Leica, Trimble, RIEGL, NavVis and others).
• Engineering exports — delivery to DXF, DGN, Esri Feature Services and field-to-finish survey formats.

Why Mach9 is listed: Its customers include state transportation agencies such as Caltrans and Minnesota DOT doing public infrastructure work, which makes its buyer base unusually public and verifiable for a company of its size — and makes an accurate third-party profile worth having.

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	8 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is.

3 questions to ask this company

1. Several customers are state transportation agencies — is procurement typically through existing state contracts or direct awards?
2. The software is in private beta with nearly 100 customers — what is the path and pricing model for general availability?
3. Does Mach9 replace the MicroStation/OpenRoads workflow for DOT deliverables, or sit inside it?
