Empowering engineers with the tools of tomorrow.

The tech stack hardware engineers and manufacturers rely on today was built for a world without AI. We're changing that.

01 // THE VISION

Compressing decades of engineering drafting into seconds.

The physical world moves slower than software because hardware design still runs on paper, static PDFs, and legacy 2D linework. Behind every jet turbine, hydraulic pump, die-cast casing, and precision tooling block sits an engineering drawing.

Over 80% of active manufacturing inventory is locked in legacy sheets that modern CAM, simulation, and 3D modeling pipelines cannot parse. Senior tooling engineers lose 4 to 12 hours on every RFQ manually re-authoring CAD from scratch.

The hardest problems ahead are physical ones: aerospace, defense, clean energy, precision tooling, and robotics. They all start with a drawing. We're building the drawing intelligence layer to unlock the physical world.

02 // THE HISTORY

Built from the factory floor, not from an ivory tower.

We didn't invent Vertex inside a theoretical laboratory. We built it directly from the machine shop floor.

Partnered with precision tooling plants and die-casters in Ahmedabad with over fifteen years of production archives, we saw firsthand why legacy OCR and generative tools fail in manufacturing: silent passes, hallucinated radiuses, and unverified assumptions that scrap hundred-thousand-dollar tooling dies.

We founded Vertex to replace probabilistic guesswork with mathematical determinism: the frontier AI model reads the drawing and authors Python code; build123d and OpenCASCADE generate exact boundary-representation (B-Rep) STEP solids; and our dual-gate referee system validates every stated dimension against ground truth.

Code Over Hallucination

The model authors; code generates. We believe geometry generation will commoditize while deterministic mathematical verification remains the durable wedge.

Four Honest Verdicts

No silent approvals. Every run reports Verified, Needs Review, or Failed. Every unstated dimension is catalogued openly in an auditable ledger.
