Technology & Products
Key Products
Feedback Sensors for Closed Loop Additive In-Space Manufacturing; NDI Tracker (camera-based non-destructive inspection tool); Autonomous logistics systems; Cybersecurity solutions
Technological Advantage
Proprietary integrated precision scanning and closed-loop feedback systems for AM, developed through NASA SBIR projects, address AM process control in zero-g/space environments. IP position is government-contract-driven, protectable via SBIR data rights and patents, but replicable by well-funded AM sensor competitors.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces AM part scrap/rework through closed-loop process control and non-destructive inspection, improving first-pass yield and lowering cost per part for mission-critical aerospace/defense components.
How They Differentiate
Focus on closed-loop feedback sensors specifically for in-space additive manufacturing, not general AM machine monitoring; leverages NASA SBIR heritage and NDI tracker for defense maintenance.
