LoomLab Development Roadmap
Our journey from alpha prototype to production-ready harness engineering platform
Alpha Development Status
LoomLab's foundation is complete and operational. The alpha platform already delivers a functional, performant environment for early harness design work, with the core engine ready for expansion into validation, manufacturing, and digital-twin workflows.
Design Canvas Foundation — Working
A modern, GPU-accelerated canvas built specifically for complex harness layouts.
- Canvas Engine – Full support for zoom, pan, selection, and high-performance rendering
- Component Library v0.1 – Early catalog with connectors, nodes, and mounting elements
- Component Placement – Click-to-place is stable; drag-and-drop is under active development
- Canvas Metrics & Debug Tools – Real-time canvas inspection for engineering QA
- YAML Import / Export – Reliable project interchange for versioning and AI-assisted workflows
- Net Management System – Create, name, and track nets across components and conductors
- Routing Architecture—internal system for conductor path planning, bend logic, and constraint management
- CAN + HV Architecture Modeling – Early schema support for multi-bus, multi-voltage systems
Status: Alpha foundation validated and progressing toward full routing intelligence.

Real-Time Validation Engine (Beta Target)
A central pillar of LoomLab: live engineering validation as you design.
Under Development
Ampacity Calculations
Real-time current-carrying capacity checks per conductor, including temperature rise and bundling effects.
Voltage Drop Simulation
Automated end-to-end voltage drop analysis based on conductor length, load, and design parameters.
Planned Post-Beta
EMI / EMC Compliance Framework
Crosstalk prediction, shielding rules, and proximity constraints.
Status: Architecture complete; implementation targeted for Beta 2025.
Alpha Preview — Debug Tools Working
Manufacturing Documentation (Future Release)
Transforming a finished design into a production-ready harness package.
Planned Deliverables
- Automatic Bill of Materials (BOM)
Quantities, part numbers, terminals, tooling, and inventory integration. - Wire Cut Lists
Accurate lengths, gauges, start/end pin data, and conductor metadata. - Assembly Instructions
Step-by-step manufacturing workflow with routing, branching, and connector orientation.
Status: Scheduled for post-validation phase; foundational data models already in development.
