Additive Manufacturing

Complex thermal conditions in AM produce complex residual stress patterns. However, measuring real-time effects of processing on stress evolution is not possible with conventional techniques.

Inkbit’s VCJ technology originated from traditional inkjet 3D printing, and now takes it to a whole new level by integrating an AI-enabled 3D computer vision scanning system that captures the print geometry of each layer in real time.

As a manufacturing-focused, high-performance 3D printing software solution that is machine independent and CAD agnostic, it brings agility and repeatability to the shop-floor, unrestricted from having to source individual tools from multiple vendors or being forced to use software that is tied to specific machines.

Software enhances precision, traceability, and repeatability, streamlining processes and pushing the boundaries of additive manufacturing and can be accessed through VIP Onboarding Program.
