Vela

An autonomous precision-manufacturing venture developed from technical scoping into factory simulation and a working production platform.

ROLE
Founder; technical research, system design, product and software prototype
STATE
Venture exploration and working software prototype
Working production-platform prototype

Build

WHAT IT DOES

The technical thesis, tolerance economics, production architecture, robotics and inspection research, factory simulation, interactive venture deck, and a nine-view customer and production-control platform.

HARD PART

Separating what can be automated now from what still needs physical validation, while making quoting, routing, inspection and repeat production behave as one system.

RESULT

A venture concept de-risked through research, simulation and working product software rather than a pitch deck alone.

NOW
The research, system model, simulation, website and production-platform prototype are built. A physical production cell has not yet been commissioned.
NEXT
Validate the narrow production envelope with machinists and integrators, then build the first physical tending and inspection loop.
