“And that code allows scripting, automation, scaling, things like equations and database lookups and logic, things that sound obvious to anyone who's done software before. Of course, you'd think that software could write a loop that changes the geometry of a feature. And, or that you could have some logic in there to say, if a certain feature was over a certain size, model it this way versus another way. Those seem like basic concepts to a software developer. Those have not been accessible to a hardware developer for the entire history of the hardware development world. Those were just never accessible tools.”

Noone: Hardware design software has not been fundamentally updated since the 1980s
“Then it last was updated in the eighties. And it's still a industry fully driven by engineers with a mouse clicking on a screen.”
Noone: There has not been an engineering software IPO since 1986
“There hasn't been an engineering software IPO since 1986. It's been 40 years of the same major incumbents.”
Noone: Programmatic Design for Manufacturability checks do not exist without human review
“There is no way to programmatically do a DFM check. You know, for a part, there's some software that kind of does it. You're still going to be sending it to your machinist. You're going to send it to the manufacturing engineer.”
Noone: Zoo will launch text-to-CNC toolpath generation within 18 months
“If it's text straight to the CNC machine, then that will be a capability that will come out in the next year, year and a half from us as a company is you can have your text prompt, send something to a CNC machine because you have that toolpath generated in pro…”
Noone: Hardware development labor and software represent a $1 trillion market
“And so for us, we view it as about a trillion dollar sized market. That's both the labor and the software license costs for actually running those hardware development programs.”
Noone: Manual CAD interfaces scale engineering communication complexity quadratically
“It's a very, again, labor-driven, very slow process that ends up compounding, you know, the number of times or number of parts you have interfacing squared. That's the number of interfaces you have. That's the number of engineers you have having kind of cross …”
