We built Forma-OSS to make hardware development as iterative as software, connecting parts, wiring, mechanical design, costs, and assembly instructions in one structured project. We use GPT-Image-2.5 Sunburst to generate concept renders so users can visualize ideas and explore design variations. Our MCP integration connects agents to Forma’s HardwareIR, CAD tools, and electrical validation. The next milestone is integrating GPT-6 Astra’s complex reasoning, tool calling, and Structured Outputs into this workflow. We want component changes to trigger coordinated checks across enclosure fit, wiring, and assembly, with mid-turn steering to handle changing requirements. OpenAI API credits would let us implement and evaluate that integration on real projects, measuring geometric correctness, project consistency, and human correction effort as we help small teams move toward physical prototypes.
