About Tokoshie Inc. and Ignite0

Tokoshie Inc. is a startup with the mission of "building infrastructure that empowers everyone to create," developing "Ignite0," an AI 3D CAD software driven by natural language and images.

Moving forward, Tokoshie will accelerate adoption among enterprise clients in the manufacturing and robotics sectors. In the future, the company aims to build a next-generation manufacturing infrastructure that comprehensively covers everything from analysis to production by structurally accumulating design intent.
