Nodi LLC (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Masatatsu Nakamura) is pleased to announce that it has been selected for the FY2026 Yakushin Course (Yakushin 3000) of the NEDO Entrepreneurs Program (NEP), a deep-tech talent discovery and entrepreneur development initiative operated by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
Grant Overview
- Project title: Research and Development of a Combined B-Rep/Implicit Design and Analysis Tool for Metal 3D Printing
- Program: FY2026 Support Program for Startup Founders and Management Talent in R&D-Based Startups / Deep-Tech Talent Discovery and Entrepreneur Development Program (NEP) / Yakushin Course (Yakushin 3000)
- Project period: September 2026 to end of August 2027
- Reference: Announcement of Grant Recipients for the FY2026 NEP Yakushin Course (NEDO)
About the NEP Yakushin Course
NEP (NEDO Entrepreneurs Program) is a NEDO initiative that supports entrepreneurs and startups aiming to commercialize technology seeds in deep-tech fields. The Yakushin Course provides grants for R&D and feasibility studies toward commercialization. In the FY2026 call, 33 grant recipients were selected from 241 applications.
Looking Ahead
Under this program, we will pursue the research and development of a design and analysis tool for metal 3D printing (metal additive manufacturing) that combines B-Rep and Implicit modeling. Through this selection, we will further accelerate the research, development, and commercialization of Nodi in the field of metal additive manufacturing.
About Nodi
Nodi combines both the B-Rep and Implicit modeling capabilities used in conventional CAD, enabling highly flexible modeling of complex geometries such as lattices that are difficult to achieve with conventional 3D CAD alone.
We are running trials on an ongoing basis, so if you are interested, please register via the waitlist.
