Freeform’s metal 3D printing technology is setting a new frontier in manufacturing. With AI, GPUs, and FPGAs working in tandem, our system monitors and corrects every microsecond of the process, delivering a level of precision, speed, and quality that’s never been possible—until now. This isn’t just an improvement; it’s a leap forward in how complex metal parts are made, with the ability to revolutionize industries like aerospace, defense, automotive, energy, and beyond. But don’t just take our word for it—TechCrunch and Devin Coldewey break down the full story. If you’re ready to be part of the next revolution in manufacturing, we’re hiring! #innovation #AI #AdvancedManufacturing #3Dprinting #Hiring

I saw the good and the bad of metal 3D printing when designing and sourcing parts during an internship in 2020. Heralded as a turnkey piece of technology that could theoretically democratize industrial manufacturing (think of the prevalence of FDM printers but now make them metal), metal 3D printing has had a turbulent couple of decades. It is a piece of technology that has to date been reserved for very costly and complex systems where no other manufacturing methods are capable of producing the same parts (usually due to internal geometries or other manufacturing constraints). I was lucky enough to see the good and the bad when designing and sourcing metal 3D printed parts during an internship in 2020, but I’ve now revised several of those opinions. Let’s get into it! The Good: 1. Combining multiple part geometries simplifies supply chain and can reduce weight. 2. Organic geometries for structural components (enables generative design). Internal geometries and channels (critical to thermal control) 3. Less material waste for additive processes 4. Non-dependency on part geometry. No CAM or tooling changes required based on component design. It’s fully automated more or less The Bad: 1. 6-15 week leads times from a small contingent of capable suppliers 2. Post machining that would take my parts to 2-3 shops across the country over many weeks 3. Inconsistent part quality that you are stuck with after 10-23 weeks of production time. We got an in-depth look at what one company, Freeform (https://freeform.co/), is doing to fix this. Read about it here https://lnkd.in/gMxEeKrx

Thank you to Verizon Labs and SoCal Deep Tech for featuring Freeform's Chief Scientific Officer, Tasso Lappas, at LA Deep Tech last week. It was a pleasure sharing about Freeform's application of AI in revolutionizing metal 3D printing!
Last week, our Verizon Labs had the honor of hosting a panel discussing "The State of Applied AI & Robotics" featuring Michael Palank (MaC Venture Capital), Les Karpas (NVIDIA), Alexandros Potamianos (Behavioral Signals), Tasso Lappas (Freeform) and Ali Agha (Field AI). It was great meeting so many amazing people from different industries ranging from Robotics to Aerospace & Defense to AI/ML, etc. Really excited to see the tremendous talent that SoCal has to bring to the deep tech innovation ecosystem! Shoutout to LA Deep Tech Week's organizers Jay V., Joshua Peng, Ciani C. and some many others that were integral in putting together not just this event, but the entire week's programming for SoCal Deep Tech Week #DeepTech #AI #Robotics #Innovation #SoCalDeepTech
