Physical creations
Simultaneously
Phigi's Interactive Clay™ is a physical material connected to your digital platform, that helps you transform the way your customers understand 3D spaces, without the hassle of mockups.
Interactive Clay
This is a claybot
Thousands of claybot can self-assemble into any shape, and reassemble into another, indefinitely.
High resolution
A single claybot has a diameter of ø 2mm, small enough for macro details, large enough to be handled by hand.
Safe
Each claybot uses the same harmless forces that allow a balloon to bond with a sweater.
Energy self-sufficient
Longer life cycle and easier to recycle, thanks to our battery-free solar harvesting chip.
Autonomous
The world's smallest computer is hidden inside each claybot, allowing you to control them individually.
This is how it works
From digital to physical and conversely.
Claybots define shapes ...
When connected together, the center of each claybot is converted into a vertex or edge, which together describe a complex solid volume.
... contained in a smart box...
Volume data is relayed between the claybots and a computer through a very clever unit that act as both a container and a stand for your Interactive Clay models.
... connected to your software
Our software extension updates the vertices and edges of the solid volume to and from the model in Interactive Clay.

They believe in us
"We are following Phigi with great interest. If their work succeeds, it could be of interest to styling departments, for example automotive, especially when they work on different countries or continents. It is therefore quite natural that Stellantis keeps an eye on this startup, and that the Mattern Lab has the pleasure to host them."
Jean-Charles Lefebvre
Head of Corporate Communications, Stellantis France"Tomorrow, THIRD could be promoters of Phigi's interactive clay to facilitate our clients early conception."
