Our missionSoftware is easier to build than ever.
Software is easier to build than ever.
Hardware is still waiting.
More people should be able to build the things they imagine.
A physical product crosses disciplines: mechanical design, electronics, code, parts, and manufacturing. Today, that work is scattered across specialized tools and disconnected files. The hard part is not only learning each one. It is keeping the whole build together as the idea changes.
We're building Lathe to close that distance. Start with an idea, inspect the design, and keep the work connected as it moves toward a prototype. AI can help you find the next step, but the project and the decisions stay yours.
Great hardware will always take real engineering. It should not take a maze of tools just to begin. We want the distance from idea to prototype to be shorter, clearer, and open to more people.

How we think about itA tool should make
A tool should make
the next step clearer.
Start with intent.
Begin in plain language. Describe what you want to make, then use the conversation as the first draft of the work.
Keep the details close.
Assembly, schematic, firmware, and parts belong to one project. Open what you need without losing the thread.
Leave with something useful.
Your projects live on your Mac. Export the files that take the next step in the tools you already trust.
