What they do

Problem

Hardware teams iterate slowly because physics-based CAD design and topology optimization are computationally expensive and hard to scale under real-world constraints.

Solution

Topological builds physics-based foundation models (e.g., UToP-v1) that rapidly generate manufacturable, physics-compliant optimal CAD designs for given requirements.

Who it's for

Mechanical engineering and hardware design teams at companies that design and optimize physical components.
