Technology & Products
Key Products
Digital twin software platform for real-time manufacturing quality visualization and analysis; Anomaly Dashboard; Recoatify (AI-based anomaly detection during LPBF process).
Technological Advantage
Proprietary digital twin architecture captures high-frequency production sensor data, structures it contextually, and visualizes patterns for quality root-cause analysis. Claimed competitive advantage: applicability across multiple manufacturing processes (LPBF, traditional machining, composites) with unified data model. Aerospace customer testimonials document 6-month cycle reduction and defect detection improvements.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces quality assurance analysis time by 80% through automated image analysis and real-time defect detection; shifts quality control from post-process to in-process; enables digital product twins for traceability and process optimization; reduces manufacturing cycle time (6-month reduction documented for Ariane 6 qualification).
How They Differentiate
Digital twin visualization specifically optimized for 3D printing quality (80% automation of manual image analysis); proven aerospace customer base (ArianeGroup, Isar, MT Aerospace, Liebherr); real-time defect detection during LPBF process (not post-process); cross-process applicability beyond AM; founded by aerospace experts with Airbus spin-off track record.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Aerospace OEMs, space agencies, and large-scale manufacturers using additive manufacturing (metal 3D printing/LPBF) and traditional processes; particularly quality-critical industries (aerospace, defense, space).
