In the news this week: Origami-inspired reprogrammable microactuator system — another sign that magnets are quietly getting smarter.
Why a coded face gives up to 4x holding on sheet metal — and near-zero stray field to disturb electronics.
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.
The catalogue is sorted by what the magnet has to do — hold, align, latch, turn, resist a sideways pull — because that is what you know when you start looking. If nothing there fits, describe the job and we will tell you honestly whether it can be done.
