As the co-founder of Tinkercad announced the sad demise of the 3D software platform Kai Backman also took the opportunity to introduce his new San Francisco-based startup company Airstone Labs, which is soon to launch a groundbreaking new simulation product called Airstone aimed at the product design and engineering markets.
Airstone will reportedly provide a powerful simulation environment that turns batch simulation into a real-time environment where the user can interactively test different product designs. As such Airstone will provide a service to its customers based on integrated software and hardware that utilizes “massive high performance supercomputers with hundreds of thousands of CPU cores.” The development of Airstone goes back to 2010 and the breakthroughs that the team have had with it have obviously got them excited with the prospect of offering the ability to “run complex multi-physics simulations in real-time, thereby disrupting current product design and engineering processes by massively increasing productivity.”
They are obviously on to something, and I suspect when it comes it is going to be big.
Airstone Labs is currently inviting early customers to get in touch to “help influence product direction and reserve their spot on the 2013 supercomputing-capacity roadmap.” You can do this by hitting the source link.
