Empowering engineers with the tools of tomorrow

Empowering engineers with the tools of tomorrow

The tech stack hardware engineers use today was built for a world without AI. We're changing that.

Back for more

We want to compress one hundred years of innovation into the next five years. And we're building the tools to do it.

The hardest problems ahead are physical ones. They’re also the most important: robotics, fusion, carbon capture, interplanetary space travel.

We’re no stranger to this world. Before Backflip we founded Markforged to build tools for people to change the world. We invented two entirely new manufacturing processes: carbon fiber and mixed metal 3D printing, and brought the company public for $2.1B. That technology is now used everywhere: on the International Space Station, in fighter jets, on nuclear submarines, and powering factories worldwide.

Now we're back to give people the next tool.
