Formulation software built by people who actually make products.

We are a small team of passion-driven engineers and scientists trying to build better formulator software, because we spent years using the alternatives on a real production floor.

Our story

Born on the production floor, not in a pitch deck.

CM Studio+ started inside a working contract manufacturer. We formulated, batched, tested, sourced, and shipped real products every day, and every day we fought the same fragmented stack: one tool for formulation, another for ingredient search, another for compliance, spreadsheets holding it all together.

So we built the platform we wished existed: formulation, raw material search, compliance intelligence, and an ingredients marketplace in one place, connected the way an actual lab and production workflow is connected.

Everything in the product exists because someone on our team needed it to do their job. That's still how we decide what to build next, and why we ship improvements almost every week.

What we build

Three tools that used to require three vendors, three logins, and three invoices.

The Formulator

AI-assisted formula creation, versioning, batching, testing, and compliance checks, the full product lifecycle from concept to production output.

Raw Material Search

A search engine for ingredients with documentation, specs, live pricing, and sample availability, built to replace directory subscriptions.

The Marketplace

Buy what you find. Any pack size, transparent pricing, automatic documentation with every order, sourcing without the email chains.

Why we do it this way

The formulation software market has trained everyone to accept expensive licenses, long contracts, and tools that don't talk to each other. We think that's backwards.

Our base platform is free because we'd rather win on product than on lock-in. Your data exports as easily as it imports, your IP stays yours, and if we stop earning your business you can leave, we just don't think you'll want to.

You can make money without bending the knee. Build. Do your thing. Disrupt. They can only ignore you for so long.

How we work

Practitioners first

We come from manufacturing, formulation, and fulfillment. If a feature wouldn't survive a real production day, it doesn't ship.

Ship constantly

Dozens of releases and counting. Small, frequent improvements beat big annual updates, our changelog is public proof.

No gatekeeping

No demos required, no sales gauntlet. Sign up, try it, and judge the product on the product.

Your data is yours

Encrypted, access-controlled, exportable, and never used to train AI when privacy mode is on. We don't claim ownership of your IP, ever.
