Field notes
The homepage frames production as a repeatable loop: capture loads, fits, materials, and environmental conditions in a parametric model, simulate it, print, then feed test results into the next version. It names polymer, composite, and metal processes and lists marine parts such as foils, fittings, ducts, moulds, and jigs. The page also identifies two co-founders, one leading mechanical engineering and the other software and systems.
