# Novineer

> Novineer is a Daytona Beach engineering-software company building a connected workflow for additive manufacturing: NoviVision turns smartphone photos into editable CAD, NoviDesign creates manufacturable optimized geometry, and NoviPath predicts how an FDM part will behave using the actual print toolpath. Founded by aerospace researchers Ali Tamijani and Zhichao Wang, the company sells enterprise software and engineering access to manufacturers, service bureaus, aerospace and defense teams, and 3D-printer ecosystems.

- **Founded:** 2022
- **Headquarters:** Daytona Beach, United States
- **Founders:** Ali Tamijani (Co-founder and CEO), Zhichao Wang (Co-founder and Director of R&D)
- **Team size:** Approximately 7 employees; LinkedIn lists 2-10 employees and the supplied company record lists 7.
- **Products:** NoviVision, NoviDesign, NoviPath, Engineering and SaaS access
- **Notable:** Released an alpha product to pilot customers in 2022 and a beta to early customers in 2024., Won $30,000 as first runner-up at the 2022 Florida Early Stage Capital Conference., Received a $275,000 NSF SBIR Phase I grant in 2023.

## Products & services

- **NoviVision** — AI-assisted reverse-engineering software that creates editable CAD models from a handful of smartphone photographs, aimed at feasibility studies, quoting and additive-manufacturing workflows.
- **NoviDesign** — Generative-design and topology-optimization software that produces editable, manufacturable CAD geometry while accounting for strength, stiffness, anisotropic materials and production constraints.
- **NoviPath** — Toolpath-aware FDM performance simulation that predicts stiffness, strength, failure load and likely failure location using actual print-path data and validated material properties.
- **Engineering and SaaS access** — Pilot access, design support and enterprise software agreements for manufacturers, printer OEMs, aerospace, defense and additive-manufacturing service providers.

## Achievements

- Released an alpha product to pilot customers in 2022 and a beta to early customers in 2024.
- Won $30,000 as first runner-up at the 2022 Florida Early Stage Capital Conference.
- Received a $275,000 NSF SBIR Phase I grant in 2023.
- Received a $1,245,669 NSF SBIR Phase II award in May 2025.
- Secured an integration partnership with Stratasys for NoviPath and GrabCAD Print Pro.
- Partnered with AM Craft on photo-based reverse engineering for certified aerospace replacement-part workflows.
- Early Stratasys-reported testing showed NoviPath matching failure behavior closely enough to support substantial part-weight reductions in selected cases.
