Program framing
Separate signal from assumption, define what has to be proven, and map the first credible build.

Multi-Mode Topology // Physical Systems Architecture
IDG helps founders turn difficult physical ideas into buildable programs. We work where geometry, materials, controls, and validation have to move together, with enough structure to make the next decision credible.
Quiet work for problems that need traction.
01 / triage
Separate signal from assumption, define what has to be proven, and map the first credible build.
02 / prototype
Shape geometry, material behavior, controls, and process limits into a path a team can execute.
03 / proof
Use digital checks early and reserve strong claims for what physical testing can support.
A useful gate for teams designing physical assemblies.
IDG Labs / Commons
Applied R&D with student engineers, open toolchains, donated enterprise software, and real 3DCP data sandboxes. The goal is steady contact with practical constraints before a program asks the market to believe it.
