Technology & Products
Key Products
AxisWise CAM; Multi-axis toolpath engine; Robotic AM integration modules
Technological Advantage
Claimed: Ability to print complex overhangs without supports. Verified: Founder's extensive academic research and publications in multi-axis AM path planning. Defensible: Proprietary algorithmic codebase.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Eliminates 100% of support structures for complex geometries, reducing material waste by up to 30% and post-processing labor costs by 50% through 5-axis and robotic motion optimization.
How They Differentiate
Provides specialized non-planar slicing algorithms that reduce stair-stepping and eliminate supports, offering higher surface quality than standard planar slicers like those in Fusion 360.
