An open way forward

Great ideas deserve
room to grow.

Incline Design is an MIT open-source mining software platform for students, researchers, and industry professionals. It provides an accessible environment to implement new algorithms, research, and innovative approaches to mining engineering.

Built together. Open to everyone.

Theres a workspace for that

The whole picture.
One place to work.

Production for crafting mine designs, Drill & Blast for designing and simulating blasts, Survey for analysing geospatial data, Geology for modelling geological deposits, and Planning for creating optimal mine schedules.

Rasters

Drape georeferenced imagery over terrain surfaces to view your designs alongside existing infrastructure.

Interoperability

Built on OMF 2.

Incline's native file type is Open Mining Format 2. Your designs, triangulations, block models, drill holes, point clouds, and rasters together in one open file format.
