Badr System Engineering Company was established in 1992 with the goal of advancing cutting-edge CAD/CAM/CAE technologies and training skilled personnel to meet the demands of various industries in Iran. Under the leadership of Dr. Alireza Darvishi, the company has focused on manufacturing and production with an emphasis on CAM/CAD/CAE systems.

From the outset, Badr System aimed to transfer innovative technologies, design and manufacture complex and advanced components, develop technical knowledge, establish and equip research centers, and offer specialized short-term training programs. Over the past three decades, major industries such as automotive, machinery, aviation, and other high-tech sectors in Iran have benefited from Badr System’s technical and engineering services.

During the mid-1990s, Badr System identified a critical gap in Iran's industrial sector: the supply of components for key strategic industries, particularly those related to energy. Given the monopolization of many related technologies in global markets, the lack of access imposed significant economic and technical burdens on the country.

To address this, Badr System made substantial progress in the design and manufacture of essential components, such as gas turbine blades, which are vital for the energy sector. As the market evolved, the company expanded its services to include software solutions and machinery for turbine blade production, alongside its traditional CAD/CAM/CAE offerings.

In the 1990s, the company pioneered the introduction of rapid prototyping and tooling technologies in Iran, establishing this innovative field for the first time in the country.

During the 2000s, Badr System focused on enhancing its equipment capabilities and building modern infrastructure. A state-of-the-art facility was established to support a rapid system for design, prototyping, and mold manufacturing, expediting the development of technical knowledge. These goals were successfully realized within the decade.

Entering the 2010s, Badr System leveraged its technical accomplishments and valuable experience in producing complex, high-precision components for advanced industries such as power and oil. Building on these successes, the company ventured into manufacturing parts for the commercial aviation sector while continuing to expand its expertise in the technical development of gas turbines.

In the current decade, Badr System’s objective is to develop robust infrastructure for the design, production, and maintenance of power plant turbines. This strategic goal aims to enhance service offerings both domestically and internationally while maintaining a focus on creating cutting-edge solutions for complex industrial challenges.
