PRESS RELEASE
Medford, Mass. – Aug. 10, 2021 – Inkbit, the company that built the first 3D printer driven by vision-based feedback control, announced today the appointment of Eric Bert as senior vice president, commercial, as Inkbit continues to focus on selling and delivering production machines. Bert’s appointment follows the closing of Inkbit’s $30 million Series B funding round.
With the addition of Bert, Inkbit plans to grow its commercial team in size and capability by providing a strong infrastructure that matches the continuously expanding scale of the company. Existing clients and early adopters of Inkbit’s technology will benefit from a larger commercial team that can support them in their efforts to maximize productivity with the Inkbit Vista, launched in February.

This combination will be beneficial to Inkbit, as we take 3D printing to the factory floor.”
