In the news this week: Origami-inspired reprogrammable microactuator system — another sign that magnets are quietly getting smarter.
Detent Polymagnets for 4- and 12-position haptics your users can feel.
A programmable magnet collapses all of that into one passive component. By printing many small poles — 'maxels' — onto a single face in a coded pattern, a Polymagnet can self-align a connector, hold it firmly, and release it with a twist. No moving parts, no assembly.
Want to feel it? A demo kit puts the behavior in your hand — align, latch, spring, and twist-release, all from one part.
