Meltra
Melt & chemistry
Melt to exact chemistry and temperature, held autonomously heat after heat.
Six products.One loop.
Each product is a paid wedge that lands standalone on the Cell tier, then expands into the Factory platform. They share one factory-edge runtime, one metallurgy-and-defect flywheel, one foundry twin, and one set of customers.

Every product isa wedge and a link.
Castwin simulates every pour and hands setpoints to Meltra, Coreon and Pourbot. Poreon grades every casting and feeds root cause back. Fettlix finishes the part and returns gate and riser data to the twin.
Coreon
Mold & core
Sand, molds and cores made to strength and geometry, batch after batch.
Pourbot
Pour & fill
Robotic pouring that fills every mold right — temperature, stream and timing autonomous.
Poreon
Defect & inspect
See every pore, inclusion and cold shut before the casting ships.
Castwin
As-cast twin
Hit target soundness, yield and takt before the metal ever pours.
Fettlix
Finish & fettle
Robotic fettling, grinding and cut-off that finishes every casting to spec, hands-free.
Built with foundries and die casters melting iron, steel, aluminium, magnesium and copper
