# Forge: Iterate on hardware like code

> Iterate on hardware like code. Forge designs hardware from parts you can order, and simulates it before you build it.

Worked example on the page:
- Sealed joint motor for a robot arm. 24 V supply, 60 °C max at full load
- Forge picks catalogue parts and assembles the module. TI DRV8316R, AS5047P encoder, SKF 6001-2RSH
- At full load it peaks at 52 °C, 8 °C under the limit.

Usually you only learn the peak after the prototype is built.
If the peak misses the limit, you order the parts again and build it again.
Orrery, our own engine, simulates heat at full load on the assembled module. Forge shows the margin before you order.
- Requirement: Sealed joint motor for a robot arm
- Supply: 24 V
- Limit: 60 °C max at full load
- Parts: TI DRV8316R, AS5047P encoder, SKF 6001-2RSH
- Simulation: Heat at full load on the assembled module, run on Orrery, our own engine
- Peak: 52 °C
- Margin: 8 °C under the limit

We are letting in a few hardware teams first. Work email, and the part you would try first. We reply in person. Waitlist: https://forge.tokoyo.app/#waitlist

The motor on this page is a worked example, not a customer project.
