Functioning as the electro-mechanical foundation for all projects in Adom's Cloud Lab, our facility in Fort Worth, TX is home to a constantly increasing store of base scaffolds. Each base scaffold is a blank canvas for fully customizable electro-mechanical projects. -A project is assembled onto its base scaffold once and then travels with it from workcell to workcell — **without the project ever being torn down or re-fixtured**. The base scaffold is the contract between a customer's project and the workcell ecosystem: workcells are designed against the scaffold's interfaces (mechanical, electrical, alignment), not against individual projects.+Every project begins in a **digital twin** environment, where the layout is implemented in software: molecules are positioned and wires drawn to establish the project's electrical connections. When the design is complete, the customer clicks **Build** — and Adom's autonomous systems take it from there, carrying a base scaffold from storage through the assembly process and into the customer's reserved workcell for ongoing evaluation and development. ## How a customer interacts with the system @@ -12,7 +12,7 @@ Customers never need to handle a base scaffold directly — scaffolds live exclu ### Project assembly -A project is mounted onto its base scaffold by the **Molecule Workcell**: robotic pincers pick up each molecule by its corner machine pins and insert it into the base scaffold's contacts.
