Ai Build implements AI for error detection in 3D printing in new AiMaker systems AM Software

One of the next key evolutionary phases of additive manufacturing is the full implementation of AI, machine learning and computer vision systems into the AM process in order to catch, eliminate and even correct errors, while improving the overall build process. We know that many experts are working on this, just a couple of days we reported about the Inkbit system that spun off from MIT CSAIL. Now it’s the turn of another company that is so much based on AI that it is even part of its name: London based Ai Build.

Inkbit introduces a material jetting 3D printer powered by machine vision and AI 3D Printer Hardware

The last few years have shown us that there are many ways to overcome the constraints of 3D printing and evolve the technology to cater to the demands of end-use part production. Inkbit, a 2017 spinout from the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), uses machine vision and AI to make production-ready, material jetting-based AM systems.
