Inkbit Ships First Vista Additive Manufacturing System
PRESS RELEASE
Medford, Mass. – June 1, 2022 – Inkbit, announced today that the first of its kind Vista production additive manufacturing system is now operational at the Saint-Gobain Research Cross-Business R&D Center, a multidisciplinary research site developing processes and products for global businesses across numerous industries. Powered by Inkbit’s proprietary VCJ technology, the Vista system enables volume production of end-use polymer parts, with a combination of high throughput, low labor post-processing, and production-grade materials. “We are pleased to announce that our first Vista platform system is operational at Saint-Gobain’s Research Center in Northborough, MA.
This is an important milestone for Inkbit: an idea conceived in an academic laboratory at MIT is now a commercial manufacturing system operating outside our building.
We are thrilled to be working with Saint-Gobain at exploring novel applications of our technology. ” says Davide Marini, Inkbit Co-founder and CEO”. The Inkbit Vista system is available now. Further information, including full system specifications and the material data sheet, is available on the Inkbit website.
