Forge joins the NVIDIA Inception Program
Forge officially joins the NVIDIA Inception Program to help shipyards and fleet owners transform legacy ship drawings into verified 3D models.
We are thrilled to announce our membership in NVIDIA Inception, a program designed to support and accelerate startups at the forefront of AI and high-performance computing.
This milestone represents another important step in our mission to give shipyards and fleet owners a trustworthy, accurate record of the ships they actually have.
The Problem with Paper Fleet Records
Every ship in operation undergoes decades of modifications, but the blueprints rarely catch up. Gathering a source of truth across thousands of scanned, hand-drawn sheets is a massive bottleneck for modern maritime engineering.
2D drawings are easy to collect, but they don't explain the physical realities of a modern vessel or flag where records conflict. That is why we started deeper, using computer vision and geometric deep learning to bridge the gap between historical paper archives and spatial digital twins.
What Forge Delivers
Forge provides a structured, scalable AI layer that turns a vessel's existing 2D drawings into an audit-ready 3D model.
Geometry Extraction: Reading complex structural geometry out of scanned, wrinkled, and hand-drawn sheets.
3D Reconstruction: Automatically rebuilding the hull, internal compartments, deck equipment, and rigging.
Traceable Provenance: Tracing every single 3D part back to the exact historical drawing that established it.
Gap Detection: Explicitly declaring every missing piece or anomaly that the historical record does not support.
Why the NVIDIA Ecosystem Matters
Joining NVIDIA Inception gives us access to critical technical resources, GPU-accelerated computing expertise, and a global community of infrastructure engineers and researchers.
As maritime industries move toward digital transformation, processing heavy spatial AI models requires robust infrastructure. Our membership aligns perfectly with our focus on building a secure, scalable engineering layer before a fleet's data structure degrades further.
What's Next
We will continue shipping the core features our partners rely on today: advanced geometric parsing, multi-drawing orchestration, analytics, and integrations that fit into existing shipyard workflows.
