Fyous is building a new class of manufacturing technology — fast, digital, zero-waste, and fundamentally different to anything on the market today. Our PolyMorphic Moulding system uses tens of thousands of digitally controlled pins to form a mould in minutes, thermoform a part directly over it, and then reconfigure into the next shape. No resin. No waste. No single-use tooling.
The global clear aligner market is worth around £5 billion and growing at ~27% a year. Every aligner on the planet is currently made the same way: a one-shot resin mould is 3D printed, used once, and thrown away. A typical patient burns through ~52 of them. A mid-sized lab spends upwards of £400,000 a year on resin that ends up in a skip. We've invented the thing that kills that.
The Role:
Pinpoint is the computational brain of Ghost, our dental machine. It takes a patient's STL dental scan and works out exactly how ~20,000 individually addressable 0.3mm pins — approaching from multiple directions — should configure themselves to form the mould. It then validates that the result will actually thermoform a clinically acceptable aligner before a single pin moves.
You'll own the full pipeline. This includes:
- Geometry engine — STL ingest, mesh repair, surface analysis, curvature and normal computation across meshes up to 500k+ triangles
- Multi-directional pin projection — projecting tens of thousands of pins from multiple tool directions, picking the right pin per region
- Split-line computation — deciding dynamically where coverage hands off between tools so the formed surface is seamless
- Surface mapping
