The ReLogic team is directly supporting Weapons Development and Integration Directorate, PEO Aviation, Missile Defense Agency, Test Resource Measurement Center, Air Force Research Lab, Naval Research Lab, Office of Naval Intelligence, as well as other various commercial customers.

Anticipate, envision and produce the tools needed to harness the incredible design freedoms that additive manufacturing unleashes, particularly in high strength, high temperature metals. Created an ecosystem of researchers, software and hardware developers, OEM's and customers that lead the state of the art in product design which centers around multiple physics topology optimization and light weight, high strength metallic lattice structures. Mentor newer engineering graduates on best practices and evolving to create collaborative and long lasting customer relationships.

Manage geometry creation and editing tools that provide a critical component of a multi-domain engineering simulation software suite. Form partnerships with industry and academic experts to jointly tackle complex research projects. Deeply involved with additive manufacturing, topological optimization, and faceted to nurbs conversion areas.
