ElastoForge replaces six-figure incumbent plugin workflows with a native, on-prem Rust binary. Catch durability hotspots in your bushings, mounts, and isolators on the Mac or Windows machine you already own.
Rubber-component teams sit between two worlds. The OEM expects durability signoff before tooling. The incumbent plugin chain costs six figures a year, runs through a black-box solver, and ships your strain histories to cloud workers. Most SMB suppliers can't justify any of that.
Annual licenses for the dominant incumbents land between mid-five and low-six figures per seat — before training, before integration, before the first usable result. SMB shops simply opt out.
Every design iteration round-trips through Abaqus or Ansys, then through the plugin queue, then back to CAD. Two-week cycles burn the design window for any product moving at SMB tempo.
OEM strain histories and material cards leak to plugin vendors the moment you click "submit". Indian SMBs supplying tier-1 contracts have NDAs that simply don't permit it. Neither does the OEM, in writing.
ElastoForge is a single ~80 MB native binary — eframe + egui + wgpu under the hood. No Electron, no JVM, no Docker. Drop it onto the laptop you already own and run it offline. Same code paths render the same UI on every platform.
One window. Six panes. The manager opens the first three to see the business case. The engineer lives in the last three. No menus to hunt through, no submodules to install separately, no plugin marketplace.
ElastoForge plugs into the FEA pipeline you already own. We don't ship our own solver — we consume the strain-history output from your Abaqus or Ansys seat and produce the durability matrix, damage spectrum, and report PDF you'd otherwise wait three weeks for.
Three Rust traits compose into one orchestrator. Default impls cover the textbook canon — Yeoh for hyperelasticity, Ogden-Roxburgh for first-cycle Mullins softening, amplitude-mean for closed-cycle extraction. Swap in your own material card the moment you have one.
The validation corpus reaches from Treloar (1944) through Diani-Cantournet (2009). Each case is a TOML file with citation, model parameters, and per-point tolerances. We re-derive every analytical model in Rust and verify against published stress-strain values. The pass/fail strip lives in the dashboard.
India alone has hundreds of mid-tier rubber-component manufacturers feeding into Maruti, Tata, Mahindra, Ola, Ather. The same archetype exists across Vietnam, Mexico, Thailand, Brazil. The constraints are universal: tight margins, Windows shops, OEM NDAs, and no budget for a six-figure plugin contract.
A fraction of the cost of the incumbent annual license. Flat-fee per seat, no usage meter, no per-job surcharge.
Your strain histories and material cards never leave your network. Air-gap friendly. Meets the strictest OEM NDA terms.
One ~80 MB binary. No Electron, no JVM, no Docker, no Python runtime. Runs offline on any laptop your team already has.
We ship the math, not a black box. Three traits, three defaults — every assumption is in the source you can read.
Our first design partner is replacing an incumbent plugin workflow on Ford V801 rear-mount geometry. Strain time-histories from their existing Abaqus seat feed ElastoForge directly. The damage matrix and report PDF land on the design-review deck within an afternoon — not three weeks.
Whether you want to see the dashboard live, study the math, or reserve a Q3 pilot slot — pick the one that fits your stage.
