How did additive technology help Ai Build?
The Challenge
The company, Ai Build was launched with the aim of simplifying large-format 3D printing. The founder identified that there was a dependency on experienced machine operators to turn designs into physical parts, this was stunting the development and widespread adoption of 3D printing. The aim of Ai Build was to make the technology more accessible - this would spur growth much more quickly.
The Technological Solution
Ai Build partnered with a number of leading 3D printer hardware manufacturers and suppliers, including Meltio and 3DGBIRE. Through these partnerships, the company incorporates a wide range of large-format 3D printers into their Ai Lab workshop. Here, the hardware is used to test, develop, verify, and integrate Ai Build’s software for a growing range of applications.
Ai Build’s unique software, AiSync enables you to fully automate the additive manufacturing process from plan to print, radically improving speed, quality, scalability, and application range, across the entire enterprise.
