Tychonis develops modern, composable tooling for engineers and manufacturers, beginning with Cyanotype—a declarative Bill of Materials (BoM) system that treats BoMs as code. The platform offers a Git‑native DSL built on HCL and Go, plus BomHub, an interactive web UI for exploring product variants and part configurations, enabling teams to scale from 3D‑printed prototypes to full contract‑manufacturing pipelines.

Problem
Traditional Bill of Materials (BoM) management tools are closed, proprietary, and lack version control, making it difficult for engineering teams to track changes, reuse components, and collaborate efficiently across design and manufacturing stages.
Solution
Tychonis offers Cyanotype, a declarative BoM-as-code system built on a Git‑native domain‑specific language powered by HCL and implemented in Go. By treating BoMs like source code, Cyanotype provides full version history, modular dependencies, and programmable logic, enabling engineers to define, branch, and merge product configurations with the same tools used for software development. The platform includes BomHub, an interactive web interface that visualizes part hierarchies, variant options, and configuration details, allowing stakeholders to explore and validate designs without leaving the browser. Cyanotype scales from simple 3D‑printed prototypes to complex contract‑manufacturing pipelines, supporting open, composable workflows that integrate with existing CI/CD and supply‑chain systems.
Target Audience
Primary users are hardware engineers, product developers, and manufacturing teams that require version‑controlled, collaborative BoM management, especially those adopting DevOps‑style workflows.
Features
- Git‑native DSL for BoM definition, offering commit history, branching, and merging of product configurations
- HCL‑based syntax provides a familiar, declarative format for engineers and enables programmable logic within BoMs
- Go implementation ensures high performance parsing and validation of large, complex Bill of Materials
- BomHub web UI for interactive exploration of variants, part dependencies, and configuration changes
- Modular architecture allows integration with CI/CD pipelines, version control systems, and downstream manufacturing tools
- Open, composable design encourages reuse of BoM components across projects and teams
