Engineering Tools
Should Work Together.
Product development often spans visual design tools, code editors, version control, electronics design software, and testing environments. Forge explores how these workflows could become more connected, helping teams move from an initial idea toward a validated product.
Version Control
Keep engineering work organised with collaboration, version history, and structured changes.
AI-Assisted Development
Explore how AI can help developers understand code, accelerate repetitive work, and navigate complex projects.
Hardware Engineering
Bring software development workflows closer to electronics, schematics, PCB design, and hardware projects.
Engineering workflowFrom First Idea
From First Idea
to Working Product.
Forge's proposed direction is to make the stages of product development easier to navigate, with tools and workflows that support each stage of engineering.
01
Design
Define the product, map requirements, and explore design concepts.
02
Develop
Build software and engineering artefacts with a structured workflow.
03
Collaborate
Track changes, organise project files, and coordinate engineering work.
04
Validate
Review, test, and validate designs using suitable tools and workflows.
One engineering ecosystemSoftware Is Only
Software Is Only
Part of the Picture.
Modern products can combine firmware, electronics, APIs, interfaces, and cloud infrastructure. Forge explores a development experience that recognises these connections rather than treating every discipline as an isolated workflow.

Our principlesBetter Tools.
Better Tools.
Better Engineering.
Forge's direction is grounded in connecting workflows, supporting multiple engineering disciplines, and making development more structured and accessible.
Connected Workflows
Reduce fragmentation between the tools involved in designing and building products.
Software Meets Hardware
Explore workflows that span code, electronics, and physical product development.
Engineering Discipline
Keep collaboration, change history, and validation central to the development process.

Engineering Vision.
Forge is a concept-stage initiative. Its direction can evolve through research, technical validation, and feedback from developers and hardware engineers.
01
Explore the workflow
Identify friction between design, code, collaboration, and hardware development tools.
02
Validate technical possibilities
Investigate integrations, automation opportunities, and practical engineering requirements.
03
Build toward a connected experience
Define and develop focused capabilities as feasibility and priorities become clearer.
