Transfigure – AI That Makes Physical Stuff – Image to Step or Nothing at All

What's up everyone, I'm getting ready to launch the Public Alpha of Transfigure next week. It's our AI that makes Physical Stuff. https://www.instagram.com/p/DX-P47BB9zv/

Image to STEP is the pipeline that makes things actually easy for anyone to make parts. Everyone can draw. So anyone should be able to get a part in hand just as easily.

Anthropic - Autodesk is interesting but damn that's a lot of tokens and a lot of typing. The only winners there are the power company and hyperscalers (in 30 years)

At Transfigure we're just in early stages with an Alpha (simple sheet metal inference for now) but our pipeline will grow to handle CNC, turned, laser, injection molding, casting, stamping, you name it. Even Revit BIMs someday. Because if you can draw it, Transfigure wants to help you physically make it!

3 Years to AI that designs itself. Skynet, but in a good way.

Also our pre-seed closes this month, if you're a pre-seed VC we've love to talk to you. We're over half way with angels, and wouldn't mind giving pro-rata to the right investor. But time is running out!
