Problem
Scaling large format additive manufacturing (LFAM) is hindered by manual processes, long build times, high failure rates, and the need for extensive trial and error to optimize toolpaths and material usage. Existing software solutions often lack the intelligence and automation required to ensure consistent, repeatable, and predictable outcomes.
Solution
Aibuild offers an AI-powered software platform that automates and streamlines the additive manufacturing process, integrating 3D printing and CNC machining into a single, secure environment. The platform utilizes AI algorithms to generate ready-to-print toolpaths, provides contextual recommendations, and automates quality control through real-time process monitoring and defect detection. By deeply integrating with hardware and materials, Aibuild enables users to develop reusable workflows, optimize process parameters, and achieve first-time-right prints, reducing waste and accelerating production. The software is available as a cloud-based solution for collaborative workflows or as a desktop application for secure, offline operation.
Target Audience
Aibuild targets tier 1 companies in aerospace, automotive, construction, energy, marine, and art & design industries seeking to automate and scale their additive manufacturing processes.
