We make additive manufacturing scalable.

We unlock the full potential of additive manufacturing & make additive manufacturing scalable by developing revolutionary software tools that are built on fundamental physics and advanced additive technologies. This will empower creators, drive localised manufacturing and lead the world to a more sustainable future.

Print with confidence.

  • Transparency - Understand additive manufacturing, voxel by voxel.

  • Flexibility - Freely and reliably mix & match printers and materials.

  • Reliability - First-time-right results, every time.

  • Performance - Improve price performance of industrial additive manufacturing.

Additive manufacturing at scale means consistently making the correct physics decisions hundreds of thousands of times when preparing a print.

Our technology, Dragon, is a thermal simulation of the process of additive manufacturing that can connect the dots to define what the correct physics decision is.

The result is faster, more reliable printing. Customers can design better printers and materials and manufacturers can build scalable additive manufacturing micro-factories.
