Programmable smart magnets

Feel the
impossible.

One passive magnet that snaps into alignment, latches with a click, and twists free on command — printed poles, no moving parts. The demo kit puts every behavior in your hand.

Buy a behavior, not just a magnet.

Each Polymagnet is a coded pattern of poles engineered for one job. Pick the behavior your design needs — every part is a passive NdFeB magnet with no electronics and no moving pieces.

Align

Align

Self-centering snap that seats parts in exactly one orientation — a self-aligning magnet that guides assembly by feel.

$16–36Shop
Attach

Attach

Concentrated near-field holding power — grabs sheet metal with up to ~4× the hold of a plain magnet its size.

$7–12Shop
Latch

Latch

Holds firmly closed, releases clean — repeatable magnetic latch design with a satisfying, tuned click.

$20–36Shop
Spring

Spring

A contactless linear magnetic spring — the resistance-then-give that makes 2-in-1 laptops feel premium.

Twist-release

Twist-Release

Locks under pull, frees with a quarter-turn — the twist-release magnet behind one-hand phone mounts.

$35–38Shop
Detent / Torque

Detent

Indexed rotary stops and tuned torque — repeatable click positions for knobs, hinges and dials.

The engineering case

One magnet replaces three parts.

A spring, a latch, and an alignment guide are three components to source, tolerance, and assemble. A single programmable magnet does all three — encoded into one passive part.

  • Fewer parts on the BOM and one less sub-assembly to build.
  • No moving pieces to wear out, bind, or rattle loose.
  • Field collapses to near-zero past ¼" — low interference with nearby electronics.
  • Tunable feel: dial in the exact hold, release, and detent your product should have.

Where they ship

Built into products people touch every day.

Product and design engineers reach for programmable magnets wherever the connection itself is part of the experience.

01

Mobile mounts

Twist-release docks that lock on and free with one hand.

02

IoT sensors

Snap-mount sensors to steel — no drilling, no fasteners.

03

2-in-1 laptops

Linear magnetic springs give the tablet-to-base snap.

04

Wearables

Self-aligning charge and clasp connections that just find home.

05

Industrial

High-hold sheet-metal attach for panels, tools and fixtures.
