In the late 1970s, company founder John Palmer applied his Naval Architecture degree and his love for sailing and sailmaking to the development of software for the design of racing sails.

John provided software to run some of the earliest low and single-ply cutting machines available on the market. His desire for better designs drove him to turn Marine Computer Systems into Autometrix, Inc., an industry leader in low-ply precision cutting machines and the software to drive them.

Located in the heart of the Gold Country of Northern California, our entire team of engineers, software developers and technicians work together to design, manufacture, and support precision cutting systems with the same level of quality and excellence that has been the foundation for Autometrix from the very beginning. Customers from around the world attest to our quality products and professional service.
