Surface Design Solutions

An entire production lot scrapped. An FDA recall. The cause? A surface finish! #SurfacesMatter #ManufacturingEngineering #SurfaceEngineering #MedicalDevices #PhysicsInformedAI

Ra. Two letters. One number. Used everywhere. The problem? It tells you almost nothing about how a surface will actually perform. #SurfacesMatter #Manufacturing #SurfaceEngineering #AIinManufacturing #AdvancedManufacturing

To everyone who followed along this month, engaged with our posts, and has been part of this journey — thank you. We don't take any of it for granted. Now it's time to look forward. Something big is coming this summer. Stay close. 👀

And we were named to the Pittsburgh Business Times Startups to Watch list — twice. Not bad for a few nerdy engineers figuring out entrepreneurship in real time.

Three years! One heck of a ride! 🎂 This month we took a moment to celebrate how far we've come — and what a month it was. #SurfacesMatter #Manufacturing #AIinManufacturing #PittsburghTech #PghStartups

Three years in, the Pittsburgh business community is watching. So is the manufacturing world.

As our CEO Tevis Jacobs put it: "There's a new tool in your toolbelt for solving problems that are — or even might be — related to surfaces."

Named a Pittsburgh Business Times Startup to Watch. Again. 🏆 We're continuing our April look back at the moments that shaped Surface Design Solutions — and this one is fresh off the press. #SurfacesMatter #AIinManufacturing #PittsburghTech #StartupsToWatch

Seeing that work recognized by one of the most respected organizations in our field meant a lot to this team.

Ra only correctly identifies 67% of parts. Our physics-informed AI predicts 100%. In semiconductor manufacturing alone, surface-related downtime costs $3 million per day.
