Inkbit

inkbit
Inkbit is a 2017 spinout from the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). We use machine vision and AI to make production-ready additive manufacturing systems.
Additive manufacturing powered by machine vision and AI

Profile Description

We integrate cutting-edge machine vision systems and AI technologies into a high-throughput material jetting platform. This allows us to reliably print precision parts at high-speed with the next generation of 3D printing materials.

MACHINE VISION CLOSED-LOOP FEEDBACK CONTROL

We use a proprietary high-speed scanning system to generate a topographical map of each layer after deposition. Any discrepancy from the expected geometry is corrected in subsequent layers. These data are also used to train a machine learning algorithm that enables our printer to learn the properties of each material and anticipate their behavior. This ensures parts are built quickly and accurately, every time. Per-layer scanning also allows us to generate a full 3D reconstruction of each part as-printed, providing a complete digital record of every print, ensuring 100% quality control on every part.
