software-defined fabrication
Manufacturing that runs like software.
We define your assembly in code, prove it in physics simulation, and check it for manufacture. You get verified CAD and a design that works before anything is made.
Parametric source for every part, mate and joint. Change a number and the whole assembly regenerates. Start from a sketch, an existing design, or a paper.
The real parts simulated in motion: loads, collisions, dynamics and the specific claims your design depends on, with a report of what was proven and how.
Clearance, interference, wall-thickness and print-orientation checks, then STEP and STL files ready for your printer or fabricator.
Case study: a motor mechanism from a research paper, taken to a simulated, verified, printable assembly — read it →
Today: define, simulate and verify in software. Building it for you is the roadmap.
The whole assembly as parametric code: parts, mates and motion. Change a number, regenerate all of it.
Physics sim proves the mechanism and the motion before any metal moves.
Clearance, interference, wall thickness and print orientation checked against the design before anything is made.
An operation graph sequences robot cells; CAM turns each step into arm motion, checked for reach.
Tool-changing robot cells form, cut, press, and put the real assembly together.
The finished assembly is measured against the CAD, and the measurements feed back into the simulation.
These are the processes we're developing so the same code that proves a design can also build it. None of them is offered as a service yet.
CNC bends from a program, with springback calibrated per spool so the first part comes out right.
Fold flat stock into stiff profiles — or layer-form solid parts from cheap foil.
One arm, many tools: shear, press, gripper, glue — swapped in seconds at the dock.
A self-reacting C-frame seats bearings and inserts with hundreds of newtons — and the arm feels almost none of it.
Two arms coordinate: one holds the joint, the other lays the bead, and holds until it sets.
Stack, bond, and cut sheet into a finished solid — tooling-free, straight from the slice stack.
Design for Manufacturing bends the design to fit the machine.
We bend the machine to fit the design.
When simulate-and-verify costs almost nothing, you stop guessing a single design and sweep a whole family — every variant built and checked in software, the constraints picking the survivor. You don't hit a spec; you map the envelope around it. Something traditional shops can't afford, because there each try burns a real tool and a real setup.

The simulation is a cache of reality.
A simulation is only as good as its numbers. Every parameter is traced to a source — a datasheet, a paper, a measurement — or flagged as an assumption until it's measured on real hardware. You always know which results are proven and which are provisional.
every number sourced or flagged · never silentThe inversion of DFM. The factory is a subroutine of your design search, not a constraint you contort around.
The unit of design is the assembly: parts, mates, motion, and how it goes together. A single part is just an assembly of one.
You don't draw a part — you search a space, and the winner is verified, not asserted.
Explore hundreds of variants for almost nothing and map the whole feasible region — the edge a traditional shop can't afford to find.
Write the constraint first. The design converges until the build goes green.
Every parameter is traced to a source or flagged as an assumption, and re-checked once it's measured on real hardware.
Some constraints aren't checked after the fact — they're made impossible to violate by how the assembly is designed.
Send us the assembly, a single part, a paper, or just the problem. If it can be defined and simulated, we want it — and we'll tell you plainly what's proven and what still needs the bench.
