IMS 2026 Inkbit Partner Summit: RF & mmWave + Digital Factory Access
Details & Abstract
The RF and mmWave landscape is demanding parts that traditional manufacturing simply cannot build. Multi-material structures, embedded geometries, and tight dimensional tolerances are no longer edge cases. They are the baseline requirement.
Join Inkbit at our Medford facility the evening of IMS 2026 for an intimate partner event bringing together engineers, researchers, and application specialists working at the frontier of RF and mmWave design. Partners Cheshir Industries and Golden Devices will present real application work, sharing how Vision-Controlled Jetting is being applied to challenges where material precision and geometric complexity are non-negotiable.
Following the presentations, attendees will get direct access to Inkbit's Digital Factory, a live look at how VCJ production actually operates, from voxel-level material placement to finished multi-material parts.

About the Speakers
Nico Garcia received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Notre Dame in 2022 and subsequently co-founded Cheshir Industries (“Cheshir”), a company focused on developing advanced antenna architectures for defense, SATCOM, and next-generation commercial wireless applications.
Cheshir’s proprietary antenna platform, Cheshir GRIN, leverages gradient-index (GRIN) lens-based apertures to deliver more than 10x the instantaneous bandwidth, over 10x the multi-beam and multi-channel capability, and less than one-quarter of the power consumption of conventional beamforming and multi-beam solutions. The company’s expertise spans the full spectrum of lens-based RF system development, including algorithms, system architectures, ultra-wideband feed arrays and networks, metrology, platform integration, and advanced GRIN lens design.
Nico brings more than a decade of experience in advanced GRIN lens technologies and was responsible for demonstrating some of the earliest high-performance flat-lens RF implementations. In addition to leading lens design efforts at Cheshir, he serves as CEO, where he focuses on the commercialization of advanced lens-based RF systems across a broad range of applications, including fixed wireless access (FWA), RF imaging, ultra-wideband sensing, and multi-band, band-agile integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) platforms.
