Design tools for engineers have not really changed since decades. Today, the 3D design of products is still a manual and repetitive process, often taking several days to weeks. This drives up costs, slows rapid iterations, and delays time-to-market. nureo develops the next generation of 3D design tools to automate repetitive design tasks and cut the manual effort by up to 90%. The startup was founded by Dr. Manuel Biedermann (CEO), Patrick Beutler (CTO), and Dr. Urs Hofmann (COO). Together, the team brings decades of expertise in the field of design automation, software, and manufacturing, and is collaborating with a number of industry leaders. The Venture Kick Funds will be used to drive the business development and support the launch of nureos design tools.
