Spotlight Startup Brandenburg: Innovative startup heatshape revolutionizes metalworking

At this point, we will be presenting exciting start-ups from Brandenburg in the next few weeks. We also want to contribute to networking and matchmaking of search queries. Enjoy reading these inspiring company insights!

heatshape: AI and simulations rethought
In the world of metalworkingtion, the young startup heatshape is setting new standards. With its innovative AI agent integrating Finite Element Simulation (FES), heatshape offers a state-of-the-art solution that makes the entire metalworking process more efficient, cost-effective and accessible. This interview with Dr.-Ing. Anton Evdokimov, one of the creative minds behind heatshape, gives an exciting introductionlick into their technology and vision.

Advancement through innovation
Heatshape's core technology is based on finite element simulations that replace physical tests with digital calculations. This reduces the number of real-world tests by up to 90% – a massive benefit that reduces material costs, increases energy efficiency and reduces the workload of technical teamsfor small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), heatshape lowers the barrier to entry for advanced simulations from €197,000 to an affordable €5,000. This makes a technology accessible that was previously reserved for large companies.

Why this technology is so important 
In addition to the enormous cost and resource savingsurcen also enables heatshape to train new employees with minimal material consumption. In addition, SMEs can accelerate their innovation cycles and secure competitive advantages. According to heatshape, every day on which no physical tests are required saves an average of up to €2,000 – an economic and environmental success.

Looking for supporters 
Despite its visionary technology, heatshape is still in the early stages of the market. The startup has already found an investor, but is looking for further support to successfully complete the pre-seed round and establish its solution more broadly.

Key features and business facts heatshape

Hi Anton, what is the name of the startup? Heatshape.

What does heatshape do? heatshape is an AI agent with an integrated FEA simulation module to optimize metalworking.

What technology is behind heatshape? Finite element simulations (FES) forr metal processing, which makes it possible to simulate welding.

What are the special advantages of these features?
FES enable testing of processing strategies on the computer, thereby reducing the number of physical tests by up to 90%, which can significantly reduce material costs and reduce the training of new Mitacan initially take place without loss of material.

What are the company's highlights? heatshape
lowers the barrier to entry from €197,000 to €5,000 and makes the metalworking simulations accessible to SMEs as well.

Current challenges and needs
We already have an investor on board, but we still needmore to complete the pre-seed round.

Thank you for the conversation and good luck in finding new investors!
