Aibuild’s AI-Powered 3D Printing Software Offers Enhanced Capabilities for Automating Entire AM Process

Aibuild’s Aibuild 2.0 is the latest version of Aibuild’s software platform which introduces enhanced capabilities, new branding and strategic partnerships designed to accelerate innovation in the large-format additive manufacturing (AM) industry.

Aibuild is designed to seamlessly integrate the entire manufacturing process, from slicing and optimization to real-time control and monitoring within a single AI-powered cloud platform. Trusted by some of the world’s leading manufacturers such as Ford, Boeing and Nikon, the Aibuild platform delivers fully automated toolpath generation for a wide range of industrial AM technologies, including polymer extrusion, metal directed energy deposition (DED), wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), cold spray, concrete and paste extrusion, on both robotic and gantry systems.

Aibuild worked closely with its key customers and partners to ensure the new release of the software meets the evolving needs of the industry, providing robust solutions that enhance productivity and scalability. “This update takes the software to a new level by combining technical expertise with user-friendliness, making the advanced tool accessible to everyone,” says Nurah Al-Haj-Mustafa, AM Engineer at Ford.

The company says the new Aibuild 2.0 software is a significant achievement for the AM industry. “I am immensely proud of the team at Aibuild, whose dedication to innovation created a platform that combines unmatched capabilities and flexibility with user-friendly design,” says Michail Desyllas, Aibuild co-founder and COO.

Key features of the new release include:

• Full Automation: Every operation on the platform is traceable and reusable, enabling users to define manufacturing strategies once and generate ready-to-print tool paths with a single click.
• AI Copilot: Aibuild’s built-in AI assistant autonomously recommends and performs actions, making AM accessible to engineers of all experience levels.
• Seamless Integration: The software integrates seamlessly with a growing network of AM hardware and materials, providing a unified platform for the entire manufacturing process and eliminating the need for trial and error.
• Unlimited Flexibility: An open platform architecture and visual programming interface enable the creation of advanced tool paths without limits.
• Access Anywhere: Aibuild’s secure, ISO 27001 certified cloud infrastructure eliminates the need for installations, upgrades or file management, making AM workflows accessible from any device and location.

In addition to the software enhancements, Aibuild has forged new partnerships to drive innovation within the industry. One notable partnership is with WASP, the Italian manufacturer of large-format 3D printers. Aibuild collaborated with WASP to seamlessly integrate the new Cerebro hardware on its platform as a digital twin. The implementation of Cerebro on Aibuild software was successfully completed, demonstrating the full compatibility of the two systems and unlocking possibilities for utilizing all of WASP's extrusion systems, including both pellet and ceramic extruders.

“With this update, we are not only enhancing the software's capabilities but also reinforcing our commitment to continue pushing the boundaries of additive manufacturing in collaboration with our partners and customers,” says Daghan Cam, Aibuild co-founder and CEO. “The future of additive manufacturing with AI-powered software is very exciting.”

Aibuild is a growing London-based software-as-a-service company with clients operating in the aerospace, automotive, construction, marine and energy industries. Its software enables users to fully automate the AM process from plan to print, improving speed, quality, scalability and application range across the entire enterprise. The company integrates and partners with a growing network of hardware manufacturers.
