MorphoAI

MorphoAI builds hardware foundation models for mechanical engineering. Our GPU-accelerated design models that let engineers generate and explore hundreds of complete mechanical assembly designs in minutes, accelerating the invention of new hardware. Our models learns from a company’s prior CAD designs and generate editable assemblies from engineering requirements, incorporating standard and custom components and manufacturing constraints. This enables companies to design and ship the next generation of their hardware faster and better than competition. The models can generate assemblies with up to 500 parts in minutes, including a full bill of materials. Engineers can explore 100s of design options at the beginning of a project and refine and validate the outputs within their existing CAD. MorphoAI’s technology builds on research conducted by its team at MIT and Harvard, with support from ARIA, the UK’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency with a GBP 2.5M grant. Its customer list includes companies like ABB and other large OEMs in robotics and automation, electric, power and grid, consumer electronics, and industrial equipment. Ayna and Andy, the co-founders, met during their time at Harvard and started this in 2024. Our founding team is built of a prof. of ECE and robotics at Carnegie Mellon, Forbes u30 serial hardware entrepreneur, and an ex. Amazon Robotics scientist. Between them, they have written 65+ papers on algorithms for hardware design during their PhDs at Harvard and MIT. The team at large holds PhDs from Imperial, TU Wein, UCL and has worked across computational geometry, computer vision, ML, optimization, simulation, and the CAD space.
