Infinitive enables build-to-order and mass-customisable products to be efficiently designed, sold and manufactured, thanks to cloud technology, 3D and AI technologies.Infinitive overcomes manufacturing limitations to help meet the demand for bespoke products in a sustainable way. Using the parameterised 3D CAD design as the single source of truth, it can encompass all possible variations of the product, so manufacturers can satisfy a greater range of customers.Our support for modularity and Generative Modular Design technology has changed the concept of a configurator to a powerful tool that can create complete designs, ready for manufacture, yet with no design experience.Infinitive is based in Leamington Spa, UK.

Implementing my vision of model based engineering software and working with partners to bring to market. Most critically I created a new business model for the Modelica industry - OEM licensing of core Modelica technology to allow adoption where the upfront investment cannot be justified - a business model that has been replicated more recently and is now central to the growth of Modelica.Development of 3 products:* Vertex - Modelling and simulation platform. Advanced editor of Modelica models, designed for efficient user workflow. Queue based simulation execution.* Converge - Model lifecycle management and version control tool. Novel and unique tool for comparison of versions of Modelica models stored in standard version control environments.* Modelica SDK - Embeddable Modelica implementation and API for development of Modelica-based tools and integration of Modelica support into other softwareSoftware customers included a leading F1 team and 2 national space agencies.Providing consulting in modelling and simulation, from model development and system optimisation to simulation strategy and training.Consultancy projects included providing Modelica training and simulation strategy advice to 2 F1 teams; Simulink real-time brake hydraulics modeling for Airbus A350; Simulink modeling of automatic transmission for control system development; custom software development for transmission manufacturer; MATLAB data analysis for vehicle development programme.deltatheta was acquired by CyDesign Labs, Inc. in August 2012.
