Technology & Products
Key Products
["Flexam Hybrid Slicer (Planar + Non-planar slicing)","Multi-axis Toolpath Optimization Engine","ML-driven Printing Strategy Module","Hardware-agnostic Robotic Integration Interface"]
Technological Advantage
Uses machine learning-driven algorithms to optimize toolpaths for strength and speed; its hardware-agnostic nature allows it to work with various robotic brands (KUKA, ABB, etc.) without proprietary lock-in.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Unlocks the full potential of multi-axis robots by automating complex toolpath generation, enabling support-free printing of complex geometries and reducing material waste.
How They Differentiate
Flexam differentiates through its 'fully automated hybrid slicing' approach, which seamlessly combines planar and non-planar toolpaths. Unlike competitors that require significant manual path planning, Flexam's algorithms automate the transition between 3-axis and 5-axis movements to eliminate support structures and optimize material deposition without manual G-code manipulation.
