Inkbit awarded research contract from The United States Air Force

By PR Editor | March 26, 2021

Inkbit announced that it has been awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract for $1.7M from the United States Air Force to build three Inkbit systems for use at USAF bases across the country. These three systems are among the first commercial systems to be built by Inkbit.

This contract, which also funds the development of technical improvements and software tools to enhance production output, builds upon work funded by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) to develop Inkbit’s proprietary vision system. The first unit is expected to be deployed by the Texas National Guard.

Inkbit Vista features the proprietary Vision-Controlled Jetting (VCJ) solution and multi-material design software, enabling manufacturers to bridge the gap between prototyping and full-scale production. It also enables real-time, in-process voxel-level control to meet the reliability and performance demands of volume manufacturing. This technology converges advanced computational techniques with a scalable hardware architecture and materials chemistries inaccessible to incumbents.
