Novineer, Inc.

Novineer, Inc. is a self-certified small disadvantaged business located in Daytona Beach, Florida, specializing in advanced computational design, artificial intelligence-driven technologies, and additive manufacturing optimization. The company leverages machine learning and generative design methodologies to streamline complex engineering processes across the aerospace, defense, medical, and automotive sectors. Through its federal contract and grant portfolio, Novineer has established itself as a specialized innovator in automated design software and manufacturing process optimization, with a primary focus on delivering solutions that reduce engineering time, production costs, and environmental impact while improving part performance and sustainability.

Novineer's federal contract awards reflect its expertise in advanced additive manufacturing and AI-driven design solutions. Under a small business set-aside contract (OSD254-P001-0170) awarded by the Office of the Secretary of Defense in August 2025, valued at approximately $150,000, Novineer is developing AI-driven model generation capabilities for rapid, cost-effective on-demand part repair. This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I effort, scheduled for completion by February 2026, focuses on autonomous repair solutions designed to reduce logistics costs and operational downtime across defense systems. Additionally, Novineer received a $75,000 SBIR Phase I contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) awarded in January 2025, focusing on the development of optimized and simulated non-planar additive manufacturing toolpaths. This firm-fixed-price contract targets advanced computational methods to improve additive manufacturing processes through enhanced toolpath optimization and simulation techniques. Both contracts are awarded as purchase orders under total small business set-asides, demonstrating the Department of Defense's confidence in Novineer's innovative capabilities for modernizing manufacturing and defense operations.

Novineer's federal grant portfolio demonstrates significant investment in advanced manufacturing research through the National Science Foundation. The company received a $1,245,669 Cooperative Agreement award under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program in May 2025, supporting the development of generative design technology for robust, editable, and manufacturable additive manufacturing solutions. This SBIR Phase II project, with completion targeted for April 2027, focuses on three key innovations: generating topology-optimized editable parametric CAD models, implementing machine learning-enhanced simulation for accelerated topology optimization, and integrating optimization of build orientation and support structures. The grant aims to transform additive manufacturing design processes to enable broader industrial adoption across aerospace, medical, and automotive sectors by reducing computational time, material waste, energy consumption, and environmental impact. Additionally, Novineer received a $275,000 Project Grant from the NSF under the same Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program in December 2023, focused on computational synthesis of 3D printed composite and infill layouts. This SBIR Phase I effort, which concluded in November 2024, advanced the state-of-the-art in additive manufacturing through novel approaches to optimize layout, fiber paths, and plastic infill distribution, while generating additive manufacturing toolpaths based on structural performance and efficiency. Collectively, these grant awards underscore NSF's recognition of Novineer's technical capabilities in automating complex design processes and advancing sustainable, cost-effective manufacturing practices.
