Vector Minima invents, patents and licenses IP to ensure successful modular building. The IP, first being METALOQ, is a virtual design tool to integrate design, manufacturing and assembly (DfMA) for participants in the modular industry. METALOQ is a kit frame, manufactured by a steel fabricator based on the design of VMIN and shipped knocked down. A Modular Manufacturer assembles the frame and fits it out. The frame is assembled in 2 hours by 4 people with no special tooling, reducing CAPEX to almost zero and greatly reduced OPEX. Light, rigid, simply precise. Steel Fabricators and Modular Manufacturers are all licensees of the VMIN IP.
