Recently, the changes in the field of artificial intelligence are remarkable. ChatGPT, a leader in the field of AI, suffered a decline in traffic in early June, and AIGC leader StabilityAI also faced revenue difficulties, which attracted widespread attention in the industry.
However, although the situation in the field of AI is unpredictable and the rise and fall is like a dream, this field is still full of hope and vitality. ChatGPT released iOS and Android apps, Microsoft announced that BingChat will enter third-party browsers such as Google and Apple, and the style of the AI model is still eye-catching.
Although the AIGC industry is shrouded in many uncertainties, its development momentum is becoming more and more rapid, and it is gradually extending to the field of 3D printing. Back in TCT Asia 2021, Markforged launched an AI software called Blacksmith.
The application of this AI self-learning software on the X7 printing platform takes the entire Markforged platform to unprecedented heights: intelligent calibration, intelligent optimization, and fully automatic correction, building a truly closed manufacturing ecosystem.
In the field of 3D printing, there are many software compatible with artificial intelligence that deserves attention.
For example, inTinker, founded by Trevor Haas and Matt Milanek, aims to simplify the calibration process for 3D printing through artificial intelligence. The software provides OEMs and enthusiasts with customized calibration files and smart recommendations, lowering the barrier to entry for 3D printing, especially for beginners and experts.
For example, PrintSyst.ai, this AI-based management software can pre-test 3D printed models to accurately identify and correct potential performance issues, providing manufacturers with valuable advice and saving time and resources.
In addition, Obico.io, this platform enables remote monitoring of the 3D printing process through artificial intelligence and timely detection of potential failures, which greatly improves the production efficiency of manufacturers.
AiSync, developed by AiBuild and powered by artificial intelligence, offers convenient user-friendly features that greatly simplify the 3D printing process and is suitable for multiple fields, including aerospace, automotive, construction, and more.
In addition, Matta launched the Grey-1 platform, which uses deep learning to innovate the 3D printing process, which can not only detect and correct errors independently, but also adapt to different materials to ensure stable printing quality.
DeepCube software enhances the performance of additive manufacturing hardware with its breakthrough inference accelerator, which can detect and correct defects in real time, greatly improving part quality and yield.
3D printer manufacturer BambuLab integrates BambuMicroLidar sensors that can autonomously inspect the initial print layer, identify defects and make calibration adjustments, providing strong support for print quality.
By incorporating artificial intelligence, these software companies have made their products stand out in the field of 3D printing, not only breaking through traditional workflows, but also providing rich application scenarios for various industries. TCT Asia Perspective believes that with the continuous development of artificial intelligence, the prospects of these software platforms will be limitless.
In 2023, Materialise launched the Mimics Innovation Suite 25 version, in which for the first time introduced the AI algorithm-based automatic heart reconstruction tool "CTHeart", which has made significant progress in cardiac reconstruction by comparing with previous versions.
Oqton believes that advanced artificial intelligence is at the heart of its ManufacturingOS production management system, enabling efficient, flexible and fully autonomous production, fundamentally changing the workflow of 3D printing.
At the same time, many software vendors, such as Markforged, Materialise, Oqton, etc., are working together to achieve the smooth progress of the entire process through 3D printing software from design to manufacturing, and expect more AI+ software applications to land and create more possibilities.
