From Microstructure to Manufacturing

We combine machine learning, computer vision, and large language models to accelerate materials innovations. Whether optimizing formulations, analyzing complex micrographs, or mining decades of internal data, our AI services give you a competitive edge.

• AI-Powered Image Analysis & Microstructure Insights: You input visual data (such as micrographs from SEM) and receive information about particle size, porosity, grains, and more.
• Smart Knowledge Assistants for Materials R&D: You input legacy and past documents (such as SOPs) and receive tools to chat with and query these documents as a whole.
• AI-Guided Experiment Design & Optimization: You input prior formulations, processing data, and testing results and receive recommendations for next steps.
• Data Cleaning, Modeling & Insight Generation: You input data with different formats or containing different info and receive clean, normalized datasets and insights.
