Show HN: Blueprintor for Hardware Engineering

https://www.zima.run/
3•fco_tero•2h ago
• In the current demo, you can enter specifications, goals, missions, parts, and other constraints, and it will generate a full design—from system to subsystems and components—drawing on data sheets. When a user submits a request, it weighs physical constraints and part availability together to suggest the most suitable design solutions.

• I built this tool to lighten the load of poring over countless component data sheets at project kickoff and to make blueprint iteration smoother. I’m aiming beyond “hardware” to the wider class of machines without operating systems, structured hierarchically as system–subsystem–component, so we can reason clearly at each level and lower conceptual entropy throughout the design process.

• Right now, the tool excels at precise spec comparisons for off‑the‑shelf components, but there are still blind spots in modeling the full physical behavior of a hardware system. I’m investigating simulation to close that gap. It also doesn’t yet design PCBs or handle CAD modeling directly.

• I’m currently building a node‑editing feature. Very soon (within 1–2 days), you’ll be able to edit detailed information for nodes at every level. Over the next month, I’m targeting a basic 3D canvas to create and configure three‑dimensional data for hardware.

As a demo, there’s plenty to improve. I want to keep learning and evolving this tool so it can meaningfully support hardware and machine design. I’d truly value your feedback!

All I see in my mobile browser is "Where bits meet atoms" and a sign-in link. Unfortunately I think most people would be reluctant to just give their Google identity without anything concrete to go on. Consider adding some screenshots to the landing page or even a short video (sometimes making a screen recording is a lot easier than doing a writeup).

Same - I went here to the comments because I thought I was missing something.

I'm not going to sign up/in just to figure out what a product is. It does sound interesting, however.

As the other commentators said, the website just has a sign in link. So, to your points:

- In the current demo you can sign in with Google (untested by me). End of capability.

- right now, the tool is a sign in button

- as a demo, it's a sign in button

That's what we see. Maybe put a video or screenshots or something

At the very least this needs screenshots or a video explainer
