ToffeeX is a London-based physics-driven generative design software company founded in 2019 by three Imperial College London researchers: Audrey Gaymann, Marco Pietropaoli (CEO), and Francesco Montomoli. The platform uses advanced physics simulations to automatically optimise complex thermal fluid components such as cold plates, heat exchangers, and heat sinks in hours rather than weeks, supporting additive manufacturing, machining, stamping, and chemical etching. ToffeeX has established traction with clients including Airbus, Rolls-Royce, EOS, Ricoh, GE, Toyota, Baker Hughes, Westinghouse, and the Fraunhofer Institute. The company raised £1M in seed funding from IQ Capital in 2020, followed by a £5M Series A in 2022 led by Presidio Ventures.

Aibuild

Aibuild was founded in 2015 by Daghan Cam and Michail Desyllas, both architects formerly at Zaha Hadid who transitioned into computational geometry and additive manufacturing. The company develops AiSync, a cloud-based AI and machine learning platform that optimises industrial-scale additive manufacturing through toolpath optimisation, quality control, and process automation. Early customers including Boeing have achieved 65% reductions in failed production attempts and 90% improvements in overall build efficiency. The platform enables manufacturers to reduce costs, lead times, and material waste while automating the entire additive manufacturing workflow. Aibuild raised an $8.5M Series A in 2023 led by IQ Capital, with participation from Nikon, Superseed, ACT Venture Partners, Atlas Ventures, and Seedcamp, bringing total funding to $14.8M.
