What Integral Technology does

Integral Technology Co., Ltd. is a Japanese CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) software developer founded in 2007 by Hirokazu Nishiura and headquartered in Osaka. The company develops and sells proprietary software for automated mesh generation and AI-based 3D shape recognition, primarily serving automotive manufacturers, automotive component suppliers, tire manufacturers, and digital electronics manufacturers. Its product portfolio comprises five core tools: SHINRA/SHINRA3 (AI-based 3D shape recognition with feature labeling and similarity search), FORTUNA_Phoenix (automatic shell mesh generation for Body-In-White applications), FORTUNA_Solid (automatic solid mesh generation for powertrain and resin parts), LATONA/LATONA9/LATONA_CASIA (automated mid-mesh generation using offset principles and AI), and NAVIAEO® (tree-menu navigation software for CAE process control). The underlying technology stack relies on integration with HyperWorks (Altair Engineering), NX (Siemens), and ANSA (BETA CAE Systems) as required input platforms, with proprietary AI methodology protected by multiple Japanese and US patents.

The company's revenue model combines one-time/perpetual software license sales with customization development services and mesh generation outsourcing services; pricing is not publicly disclosed and all transactions route through inquiry forms and quotation processes. Distribution occurs through a multi-channel model: OEM supply via the Altair Partner Alliance for global reach, two Japanese sales agents (Dentsu Soken, Chuo Engineering), and three international distributors (UIT Inc. in Korea, ITA Inc. in the USA, OBM in the UK). The company employs 14-15 people and operates as a privately held, founder-owned entity with no disclosed venture capital or private equity backing. Strategic assets include co-developed IP with Honda Motor Co., government recognition through JETRO/ Techstars and SME Agency programs, and ongoing product launches targeted at automating CAE simulation workflows for the automotive vertical.

Core offering

Integral Technology develops and sells proprietary CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) software for automated mesh generation and AI-based 3D shape recognition. Its product line converts CAD geometry into analysis-ready meshes (shell, solid, mid-mesh) with minimal manual intervention, targeting automotive manufacturers and component suppliers. The company also provides customization development and outsourced mesh-generation services around its software products.

Product overview

Integral Technology develops a portfolio of CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) software for automated mesh generation and 3D AI recognition. The product lineup includes: SHINRA (AI-based 3D shape recognition and feature labeling), FORTUNA_Phoenix (automatic shell meshing for BIW/body-in-white), FORTUNA_Solid (automatic solid meshing for powertrain and resin parts), LATONA/LATONA_CASIA (automatic mid-mesh generation using offset principles), and NAVIAEO (navigation software for CAE process control).

Products and services

• SHINRA (SHINRA3) — AI 3D Shape Recognition AI-powered 3D shape recognition software for automotive CAE engineers that automatically labels features on 3D model surfaces (combustion chamber, water jacket, oil pan, fillet, etc.) using a proprietary 3D-to-1D dimension reduction, and includes a model similarity finder function to retrieve the closest similar model from a registered database for faster mesh creation.
• FORTUNA_Phoenix — Automated BIW Shell Mesh Generation Fully automatic shell mesh generation software for Body-In-White (BIW) and sheet metal parts that uses shape recognition technology to generate expert-level parameterized mesh conforming to CAE rules, including fillet mesh, weld mesh, and parts-replacement modeling for automotive CAE users.
• FORTUNA_Solid — Automated Solid Mesh Generation Fully automatic solid mesh generation software for powertrain, piston, mold, camera, and resin molded parts, featuring shape recognition for bolt/screw and rigid-model creation, SAG limit mesh control, fillet flow control, shape simplification, and contact surface node sharing.
• LATONA (LATONA9) — AI Mid-Mesh Generation Automated mid-mesh generation software using the offset principle, in which LATONA9 applies AI (SHINRA3) to recognize the front and back sides of 3D geometry and select offset surfaces in order to generate mid-mesh inheriting the original 3D shape, running on HyperWorks (Altair Engineering).
• LATONA_CASIA — Automated High-Speed Mid-Mesh Generation Fully automated high-speed mid-mesh generation software for assembly models that takes HyperWorks or ANSA input, repairs CAD models, generates high-quality mid-mesh, and auto-corrects mesh errors with an approximately 1-2% error rate while supporting batch processing of tens of models.
• NAVIAEO® — CAE Process Navigation Software Tree-menu based navigation software that integrates CAE software operations through embedded macro commands and automated processes, allowing even inexperienced users to operate CAE analysis easily and supports HyperWorks (Altair Engineering).
• Customization Development Service Customization of Integral Technology's CAE software based on customer orders, including customization of general-purpose software and addition of unique features to the standard product lineup for individual enterprise customers.
• Mesh Generation Outsourcing Service Mesh generation outsourcing service for customers who require mesh creation work performed on their behalf by Integral Technology's engineering team.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Altair Engineering: Global CAE platform provider behind HyperWorks, HyperMesh, and the Altair Partner Alliance. Comparable because it offers broad mesh pre-processing and simulation software for automotive and industrial customers; it is also Integral Technology's primary distribution partner, making it both a competitor and channel.
• Hexagon MSC Software: Provider of MSC Nastran, Patran, and related CAE tools widely used in automotive structural and crash simulation. Comparable as a broad CAE incumbent whose mesh pre-processing and solver offerings overlap with Integral's automation focus in the automotive OEM supply chain.
• Siemens Digital Industries Software: Developer of NX CAD/CAE and Simcenter simulation suites used across automotive design and validation. Comparable because NX is a required CAD platform for Integral's SHINRA3, while Siemens' own Simcenter meshing competes directly with Integral's automated mesh products.
• Ansys (Synopsys): Broad CAE portfolio spanning structural, thermal, and fluids simulation used by virtually every major automotive OEM. Comparable as a full-stack CAE incumbent whose meshing, solver, and AI roadmap initiatives overlap with Integral's automation value proposition.
• Dassault Systèmes (SIMULIA): Provider of SIMULIA Abaqus and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform for structural and crash simulation. Comparable as a broad PLM/CAE incumbent whose automotive customers overlap with Integral's OEM and Tier-1 target base.

Direct peers

• BETA CAE Systems: Developer of ANSA, a leading mesh pre-processor widely used in automotive CAE. Directly comparable because ANSA is one of two selectable inputs for LATONA_CASIA, and BETA CAE competes for the same mesh-generation workflow that Integral's FORTUNA and LATONA products automate.

Emerging players

• CoreTech System (Moldex3D): Taiwan-based provider of Moldex3D injection molding simulation software. Comparable as a regionally rooted CAE specialist that has built deep domain expertise in a specific manufacturing simulation niche and expanded globally — a useful analogue for Integral's automotive CAE specialization.

Regional players

• midas IT: Korean CAE software company specializing in structural and civil engineering simulation, with expanding automotive exposure. Comparable as a regional CAE specialist serving Korean OEMs — the same Korean market Integral accesses via its UIT Inc. distribution partnership.
• IDAJ Co., Ltd. Japanese provider of CAE software, engineering services, and multi-physics simulation. Comparable as a Japanese-headquartered CAE specialist serving the same automotive OEM and supplier customer base Integral targets domestically.
• CYBERNET Systems Co., Ltd. Japanese CAE software distributor and engineering services company representing multiple global CAE tools. Comparable as a Japanese CAE channel and services player addressing the same automotive manufacturer and component supplier segments as Integral.
