About Mechanomy

Many steps are required for a concept to become a physical product, spanning many combinations of product developers and design tools. Each interface between these people and tools introduces possibilities for miscommunication, imprecision, and delay in the overall development process. Moreover, the disparate nature of the development and the multiple teams involved lead to decisions that cannot be reproduced, verified, or tested at later times. If one developer or tool leaves or becomes unavailable, the product design is broken and may be unrecoverable, depending on the exact failure. Organizations that want to understand their products and processes need tools that support a more transparent and higher-fidelity development process, that empower rather than frustrate their employees.

We are making these tools and libraries, helping engineers model physical systems and create more accurate predictions of system performance. This enables engineers to design systems more quickly and coherently, creating value for their organizations and society.

This substack newsletter is a way to share our ideas and perspectives with engineers and designers to, we hope, lay the ground work for the tools and workflows of tomorrow. See our main site and archives for more.
