Specialist AI agents for manufacturing

From idea to production — in days, not months.

A team of physics-trained AI agents balancing quality, costs, and emissions — across every manufacturing phase.

Concept-phase 3D render of an injection mold cavity — streamlined shell with conformal cooling channels (white tubes) and a thermal gradient indicating the hotspot region.

Sub-0.1 mm tolerances. SLM-printed cooling system. Mold went into production with no pilot run.

“Our strong points are manufacturing flexibility and speed to reply to enterprises' stringent needs. Zephyra provides some tools that align on our vision.”
— Simone Lingeri, CEO
  • −66% cycle time per shot.
  • Press capacity more than doubled — same hardware, same shift.
  • Tolerances moved from borderline to fully compliant (< 0.1 mm).
