Q1 TELL US ABOUT YOUR ROLE AT PHYSNA

» “ Physna , short for ‘ Physical DNA ’, is a geometric search platform . Our software is able to understand 3D models based on their geometry . We turn that geometry into a unique code that represents that model , like DNA . This allows us to match geometrically similar models . Before Physna , there were some tools out there that tried to do geometric search , but it was rudimentary .

“ We enable people to innovate faster , by bridging that gap between the physical world that we live in , and the digital one that we work in .”
