CoDesigner creates computational recipes for your components - code-driven mechanics that optimize every surface point for manufacturing. From simple CAD geometry to powerful, physics-driven designs. In hours.
Engineers create brilliant components. But there's an untapped opportunity: what if every surface point could be computationally optimized? What if the design had a recipe - a code-driven formula that accounts for shrinkage, warpage, and tolerances simultaneously? CoDesigner creates that recipe. The result: components that perform exactly as intended in production.
Every point on the surface is computed independently - compensating for shrinkage, warpage, and stress simultaneously. Move your cursor to see how CoDesigner evaluates each point in real time.
Designed by the engineer.
Straight lines, right angles.
Mould or toolpath optimised.
Every point pre-compensated.
Part emerges exactly as designed.
Near-zero tolerance variation.
The most valuable part of engineering is the part only engineers can do: inventing the component. Engineers have world-class spatial reasoning, functional logic, and the creativity to make components work. Going from blank page to concept - that is where engineers should spend the majority of their time.
That rough CAD geometry is not a problem. It is the perfect input. It encodes everything the engineer knows about what the component needs to do. CoDesigner takes it from there - handling the dimensioning, maturing and optimisation automatically. AI is accelerating in every field - now also in mechanics. And we are not slowing down.
CoDesigner computes the ideal geometry for every surface point simultaneously - and gives you back a component that performs exactly as designed when it comes out of production.
Your 3D model and design intent go in. The geometry of the component, the material, the production process, the tolerances - everything the engineer already knows.
The CoDesigner Geometry Engine computes what the component needs to become - simultaneously across every surface point, across every relevant physical domain.
You receive a manufacture-ready model: every point computed, every domain considered. The component that comes out of production is the component the engineer designed.
Whether you are moulding or machining, the goal is the same: a component that comes out exactly right. CND computes what that component needs to be - at every surface point - and gives it back, ready for production.
CoDesigner modifies both the component geometry and the metal mould at every single point. In non-functional areas - draft angles, internal wall profiles, non-visible surfaces - the component itself is adjusted for manufacturability. The mould is then pre-compensated for shrinkage, warpage, and flow-induced deformation before a single shot is made. The component that emerges looks exactly as the engineer designed it: straight, accurate, near-zero tolerance variation. Capabilities include 3D variable draft angles, 3D variable shrinkage compensation, and flow-induced warpage correction at every surface point simultaneously.
For precision machined components, CoDesigner optimises the part for stress, strain, stiffness, material utilisation, function, and tolerances, and outputs an STL that feeds directly into your CAM software. The CNC mill already moves point by point and can produce spline-based surfaces. CoDesigner bridges both gaps: a better part geometry, and a toolpath optimised to produce it exactly. This includes acceleration-optimised roundings and fillets across all 6 degrees of freedom and load-compensated machining computed per surface point.
Design review and annotation - AI improves the meeting, not the part
Single-domain tools that are linear and do not optimise point by point
Manual iteration cycles between engineer and DFM specialist
Human expert bottleneck remains - throughput limited by available capacity
Physics compute at every surface point - geometry in, optimised geometry out
Multi-disciplinary AI that modifies geometry, not opinions
Automated DFM compensation - iteration time drops from weeks to hours
More designs through production - scaling the full knowledge of your technical organisation
Traditional tools run one analysis at a time. CoDesigner finds the optimum across all disciplines simultaneously. The component that emerges is the best answer across everything at once. Hover or drag to explore.
Generative design creates new shapes. Simulation tools flag problems. CoDesigner is the only tool that takes your existing geometry and makes it manufacture-ready - without a redesign.

CoDesigner doesn't flag problems - it solves them, returning manufacture-ready geometry. Built on Computational Numerical Design (CND) - the design layer for injection moulding and CNC teams - based on state-of-the-art research, applied to production, and designed to make every component that leaves your organisation better than the one before it.
CoDesigner is built by Component Group, a Copenhagen-based consortium consisting of Component 2.0, a product and engineering team, and Component AI, a team with leading specialists in AI for engineering. Over more than two decades, the team has trained and educated more than 4,000 engineers and developed 25 years of product engineering expertise. We have seen first-hand how exceptional they are at creating ideas and concepts. And how they spend the majority of their time on DFM corrections, tolerance dimensioning, and manufacturing iteration. That is what CoDesigner automates, in hours.
The geometry engine is built on state-of-the-art shape analysis methods that allows to parametrize and quantify smooth geometry transformations from Riemannian metrics on spaces of non-linear transformations. Coupled with language-to-geometry generators and end-to-end differentiable numerical schemes, it allows to optimize all points for any criteria in scaleable geometry generation pipelines. Years of engineers, experts, and researchers analysing, testing, and developing methods in algorithmic mechanics and algorithmic mathematics enters in the optimization process, allowing a body of knowledge previously locked in human expertise to be operational algorithmically. With AI, we can flip the paradigm: stop analyzing what already exists, and start designing what should exist.
Geometry in code supercharges computation. CNC already machines point by point. CoDesigner brings code-driven geometry together with every point on every surface, and applies them systematically to production. This is Computational Numerical Design: the design equivalent of what CNC did for manufacturing. A complete break from manually drawn lines, towards physics-driven geometry computed from the ground up.
CoDesigner works at whatever depth your team needs, from optimising individual parts today to running a fully integrated geometry pipeline at scale.
Bring a 3D model. Get back optimised, manufacture-ready geometry as a computational recipe - compensated for shrinkage, warpage, and DFM constraints. Works for individual parts, DFM verification, and small batches. The fastest way to start.
For teams running high volumes or complex product families. CoDesigner is set up as a complete design pipeline: operationalizing your engineering knowledge, running at unlimited scale, and integrating directly with your own AI agents via a Python-native interface. Custom setup, delivered by Component AI.
The speed from product concept to finished tooling and running production is unprecedented. It opens up entirely new ways of working - and gives us the confidence to scale in ways we simply couldn't before.
