Our take
Despite the ongoing automation revolution, hardware design processes remain based upon slow, direct user interactions. KittyCAD hopes to change this, with its APIs for hardware designers to design, manufacture, and manage hardware projects.
KittyCAD delivers a fully integrated suite of hardware design products, encompassing workflow automation, a CAD (computer-aided design) platform, and app frameworks. Founded and incubated by Embedded Ventures, the company launched out of beta in 2022, and is to-date the only company building hardware design infrastructure for the internet.
As a member of the Khronos Group, the Nvidia Inception Program, and the Metaverse Standards Forum, it is clear that KittyCAD has its footing squarely in the industry. These connections will no doubt enable the company to collaborate with industry-leading experts and other AI-driven organizations in the future, which certainly makes it one to watch.
