How Hardware Startups Use Digital Twins to Prototype Faster
Lucas and Luna explore how hardware startups are using digital twins — virtual replicas of physical devices — to simulate real-world performance before building a single physical prototype. The episode centers on a specific case: a 2024 startup that cut its development cycle from 18 months to 9 by pairing a digital twin with a low-cost sensor rig. Lucas breaks down the three layers of a useful digital twin — geometry, physics, and data — and explains why the third layer is the hardest to get right. Luna pushes back on the hype, noting that many founders confuse a CAD render with a real twin…
