Before the 1970s, engineers and manufacturers were connected by one thing: the blueprint. In the late 70s and early 80s, CAD software emerged and fractured the blueprint into two parts: CAD for design and work instructions for manufacturing.

Mechanical engineers—who were on the manufacturing shop floor and well-integrated into production—were relegated to the back office, working in CAD.

Since then, mechanical design has been divorced from reality.

Planes are designed 5,000 miles away from where they're built, mechanical engineers are trained without ever having seen a shop floor, and manufacturability has taken a back seat to design.

At Dirac, our goal is to bring reality back to mechanical design.

We’re starting with BuildOS, a powerful and flexible tool for manufacturers that will radically tighten the feedback loop between design and build.

Our plan is to bring CAD and work instructions closer and closer together until we reunite the blueprint.

BuildOS will accelerate manufacturing today and lay the groundwork for revitalizing the manufacturing capacity of The West. We’re bringing humanity back to the future. Join Us.
