Maieutic is a startup comprised of engineers who are developing a revolutionary die and surface casting technology called a programmable surface.

Manufacturers use die extrusions to flatten polymers into flat sheets. However through repetitive use deformations as well as wear tear occur on the die's surface. Manufacturers often use screws to re-adjust the surface and compensate for these solutions.

Our patent pending solution is known as the "programmable surface", a surface comprised of an array of pins whose individual heights can be adjusted via lorrentz force.

By varying the individual heights of each pin, we can emulate various surface topographies and compensate for surface deformities that arise in the manufacturing process.
