Clean Solution to reducing R&D resources
75% of experiments in R&D materials process developments fail to proceed.
We mitigate these costs using virtual experiments to optimize your R&D.
Trial & error is the most predominant but resource-intensive method used to advance products at early-stage market readiness. With rising demand of advanced tools that require atomic-level control comes higher margins of error. Optimize energy, time and resources needed to overcome manufacturing hurdles by minimizing guesswork and gain competitive leadership with accelerated materials development.

OUR STORY
With a limited budget and a high demand from our collaborators, we began with a simple challenge: could we reduce the number experiments needed until delivery? Unbeknownst to us, by answering this fundamental question, we had stumbled upon a powerful tool for better experimentation strategy, precursor consumption reduction. improved ALD reactor design and much more.
OUR VISION
We want expedite the rate of innovation for our clients, customers and eventual users and find solutions to optimizing the manufacturing process.
This can be done by minimizing human input into the decision making process towards the development and eventual production of your product.
OUR TECHNOLOGY
Information is only is good as the data it relies on. Our philosophy is data must be rooted to the fundamentals of nature.
By combining the mathematical models of material process with a developed AI algorithm, we can provide more directed experiments, smarter processing methods and more optimized tool design resulting in greater efficiency in product process lines.
