Generative optimization software for the precast concrete industry
FormaOpt is a real-time generative design-optimization software that enables manufacturers to engineer low-carbon, cost-efficient structural systems.
It leverages a proprietary algorithmic framework that couples validated structural engineering equations with geometry-based fabrication constraints, making shape optimization practical for real manufacturing workflows.
Rather than checking for compliance, we optimize.
Designs are tailored to your material and fabrication constraints.
Results are fabrication-ready and compliant with local Building Codes, including ACI 318.
Unlike traditional engineering spreadsheets or software, FormaOpt easily incorporates changes to concrete mixes and geometry.
