Funding Rounds

Summary

We’re discussing Sintratec’s All-Material Platform first in today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, and then moving on to an NSF Career Award for a University of Pittsburgh research and a Phase I STTR contract for Phase3D and 1000Kelvin. Conventional machine learning calculations take time and aren’t fast enough for real-time control yet, but the digital twin we’ll develop as part of this project based on the state-of-the-art physics-informed neural networks will help us in that endeavor.” Software startup Phase3D, together with 1000Kelvin, are partnering up for real-time AM anomaly detection, and were awarded an AFWERX STTR Phase I grant from the US Air Force to show the feasibility of closed-loop optimization for laser pathing, based on in-situ inspection from Phase3D’s Project Fringe. This patent-pending quality monitoring system detects and measures anomalies in powder bed AM methods through the use of structured light, and the two startups hope to advance the project by combining their solutions. The company has a customer-centric orientation and has been smart with its investments in commercial and engineering organizations; these factors, coupled with its manufacturing expertise and strong financial performance, align Spectrum with DuPont’s objective to deliver specialized solutions and materials into top end markets with “long-term secular growth trends,” like healthcare and pharma processing. 3D printing gave the team freedom to quickly create a variety of different denture designs, and also enabled them to easily produce multiple sets in case a pair broke.
