Technology & Products
Key Products
NetShape Robots; NetShape software; Robotic grinding systems; Enclosed microfactories
Technological Advantage
Verified advantage: Reduces defects by up to 90% and eliminates human variability in post-processing. Defensible through proprietary software and integration with industrial robots (e.g., YASKAWA).
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces post-processing labor costs by up to 90%, cuts defects by up to 90%, eliminates human exposure to toxic materials, and enables 24/7 automated operation for scalable metal AM production.
How They Differentiate
NetShape software enables autonomous operation without pre-programmed paths vs. Omnirobotic's pre-defined automation; 90% defect reduction vs. manual methods; integrated microfactory solution vs. standalone robotic arms.
