FOR TEAMS GOING FROM LAB TO PILOT

Your chemistry works.
Now make it work at scale.

Explore different designs before buying the hardware.

We’ve built AI software that works with engineering simulators. We’re opening the RARE Labs waitlist for teams taking lab results toward their first pilot plant.

Engineers review the outputs.
Physical testing still matters.

THE DECISION BEFORE THE HARDWARE

A bigger vessel.
A different problem.

You need to choose equipment before you know exactly how the whole process will behave. The goal is fewer expensive mistakes, so you can start producing and selling sooner.

01 / HEAT

Getting heat in.
Getting heat out.

Which heating and cooling requirements does the design need to meet?

02 / MIXING

What changes
in a bigger vessel?

Which assumptions about mixing need evidence beyond the beaker?

03 / PRODUCTION

At a price
someone will pay.

What must the pilot show before the team commits to more hardware?

01 / YOUR PILOT DECISION SHEET

What must this
pilot prove?

Write down the next decision before choosing the next piece of equipment. Fill in what you know; leave uncertainty visible. Your worksheet stays in this browser tab and is not sent with the waitlist form.

WORKING BRIEF / LOCAL TO THIS TAB

Your next pilot decision

A planning worksheet, not a design approval or a readiness score. Add the relevant engineering reviews, people, tests and operating limits for your process.

BUILDING RARE LABS

From “it works”
to “we can make it.”

Nathan, a chemical engineer, and his co-founder are building RARE Labs to help teams navigate that gap. Join us and help shape the next step.

We’re developing a connected design, simulate, build, run and learn loop. The simulation software exists today; the robotics and autonomous physical loop are in development.
