Where intelligence takes shape — and ships.
Synformax LLC · Salem, Oregon · Founded 2024
Synformax is a soft robotics and embodied AI company building compliant systems — machines that yield to the world rather than push through it. Our research is published in the open within twelve months. Our hardware is sold here.
The store exists for one reason: when we showed our Phase 1 grippers at trade events, universities, makerspaces, and small automation shops kept asking how to buy them. The marketplace channels weren’t a fit, so we built our own. Every gripper, finger module, and education kit is hand-assembled in our Salem, Oregon facility. We don’t dropship and we don’t resell. The apparel and print are made in the US through partners we’ve worked with for years.
The catalog, in plain English
Roughly half of what we sell is hardware: adaptive soft grippers, replacement finger modules, and bench-top education kits used by university labs and high schools. The other half is the gear our team and customers actually use day to day — field notebooks, riso-printed posters, mugs, and a small line of garment-dyed apparel. Nothing here is speculative; every SKU is something we keep in stock and ship from the same building where the engineers work.
Who runs this
The store is run by a team of three: a fulfillment lead who handles every package that goes out the door, a customer-support engineer who answers email within one business day, and the same firmware engineer who designed the grippers in the first place. If you have a hardware question, you talk to the person who built the thing.
