How we collaborate with you

LEAP 71 provides engineering as a service: we co-develop a computational model tailored to your specific engineering challenge—enabling you to generate manufacturable designs for a certain class of physical objects.

Our methodology is based on Computational Engineering, where the logic of how objects are designed is captured directly within computational models. Instead of manually crafting geometry in CAD, we build algorithmic systems that embody design rules, manufacturing constraints, and physical principles—automatically generating sophisticated, production-ready outputs.

At the core of this approach is Noyron, LEAP 71’s proprietary Large Computational Engineering Model. Noyron distills design logic, physics, and process constraints into an comprehensive framework that automates and accelerates the engineering process. It is built on PicoGK, our award-winning open-source geometry kernel, which provides the robust foundation for precise and efficient computational geometry generation.

How we collaborate

We offer two general modes of collaboration, depending on your needs.

In some cases, we deliver the design for a specific object—such as a rocket engine, heat exchanger, or other high-performance device—by applying our expertise and leveraging existing Computational Engineering Models within Noyron and PicoGK. In this approach, we generate production-ready geometry for a clearly defined application.

However, our standard mode of collaboration goes further: we work alongside your team to co-develop a tailored computational model that encodes the logic of how such devices are designed. Together, we define the requirements and translate the construction process into an algorithmic system—capable of generating not just one design, but an entire class of manufacturable objects.

In this model-centric approach, collaboration is often ongoing, with shared access to the evolving codebase. At the conclusion of the project, we typically perform a structured code handover and provide training for your engineers, enabling your team to operate, maintain, and further develop the computational model independently.

This approach is designed to empower your organization—equipping you with a scalable, reusable design capability that extends beyond a single project.

Supporting a Thriving Computational Engineering Community

LEAP 71 is committed to advancing the emerging field of Computational Engineering. We actively support the growing community of engineers who are embracing algorithmic, software-driven design approaches.

As part of this commitment, we maintain and contribute to PicoGK, our award-winning open-source geometry kernel, which serves as the foundational technology for many computational engineering projects. By providing reliable, high-performance geometric tools as open source, we help lower the barrier to entry for others and foster shared innovation across the industry.

This open foundation supports not only our own work but also enables the broader ecosystem to thrive—accelerating progress, encouraging collaboration, and expanding what is possible in engineering.

Our mission is to build better solutions together—combining proprietary, project-specific development with shared foundational technologies that uplift the entire field.
