Rollup

Web-based collaborative platform for hardware engineering

Overview

Rollup builds a centralized software platform that accelerates the design and engineering of complex physical hardware. It provides a web-based, collaborative workspace for hardware development, especially in aerospace and defense, where teams manage the entire lifecycle from system modeling and requirements to CAD design reviews. The product works by unifying disciplines—mechanical, analytical, and systems engineering—within a single environment that integrates tools like Python, MATLAB, and SolidWorks, offering real-time collaboration and a single source of truth. This differentiates Rollup from competitors by focusing on end-to-end model-based systems engineering and tightly integrated workflows that reduce tool fragmentation, streamline communications, and cut late-stage design changes. Rollup’s goal is to standardize and speed up complex hardware development, enabling teams from startups to large primes to move faster with fewer licensing and data-handling bottlenecks.
