Regent Craft is collaborating with Siemens Digital Industries Software to streamline the development and production of its all-electric seagliders. The Boston-based startup announced on August 2 that it has adopted the Siemens Xcelerator software as a service (XaaS) to support the design, engineering, and development of its seaglider, a new type of vehicle that the company says will revolutionize transportation between coastal cities. 

The Siemens XaaS provides an integrated portfolio of engineering software that combines a product’s mechanical design, electronics, software, and physical simulations to create a comprehensive virtual representation known as a digital twin. Companies like Regent can leverage these digital twins to simplify and speed up product development, reducing the need to build more prototypes while minimizing costs and resources.
