About

Advanced manufacturing meets micro-engineering excellence.


Founded by WPI innovators Patrick Chernjavsky, Jack Shanks, and Yihao Zheng, HydroFlex has engineered a patented orbital polishing system that reaches geometries no other technology can. Their system improves surface precision by 90% and cuts costs by more than 70%—transforming turbine blade, die-casting, and aerospace manufacturing.

From NSF I-Corps roots to national design awards, HydroFlex exemplifies the power of WPI’s project-based innovation.
