Vitro3D，，，，a volumetric 3D printing company has raised $1.3M in an oversubscribed seed round led byBuff Gold Ventures。据该公司称，这笔资金可以允许生产在几秒钟内生产复杂3D对象的原型打印机。
Angel investors the戴明中心风险基金，，，，Caruso冒险，，，，and落基山脉风险俱乐部还参加了这一融资。Vetro3D的最初重点将是开发用于制造3D细胞培养和组织工程牙科对准器和脚手架的新方法。通过使用其基于小墨盒的几何形状，Vetro3D的高级体积3D打印技术克服了Photopomermer 3D打印部门的当前缺点，并允许快速打印较大，更复杂的物体。
“Our proprietary volumetric 3D printing technology leverages novel algorithms, proprietary hardware, and materials science allowing us to disrupt industries such as dental aligner manufacturing,” said Dr. Camila Uzcategui, Co-founder, and CEO of Vitro3D. “This funding will enable us to demonstrate the power of our revolutionary 3D printing technology, which offers the potential to change the way complex structures including intricate custom medical products will be rapidly manufactured.”
Vitro3D的概述
“Vitro3D’s volumetric 3D printer will disrupt how complex and custom products are manufactured in the future,” said Mark Lupa, General Partner of Buff Gold Ventures. “The speed and detail of the products they can produce have broad applicability across multiple industries, and we are excited to work with this great team.”
Vitro3D也是生命科学公司的3D打印that brings printers to the patient point-of-care. Vitro3D is affiliated with the University of Colorado Boulder, and was spun out of the university. The dental sector is the company’s primary market. The company claims that the dental aligner industry is the largest global user of light-based 3D printing, but the industry’s current production processes are cumbersome, wasteful, and ineffective. A major issue, reportedly, is that instead of 3D printing the dental aligners themselves, a significant amount of time and resources are wasted by printing molds that are then used to produce more aligners
Vitro3D’s goal is to directly print dental aligners using a novel volumetric 3D printing technique that is less expensive, quicker, and simpler to use. The firm addresses the biggest market challenges by enabling dentists to produce custom aligners on-site using the Vitro3D Volumetric Cartridge Printer.
What is volumetric 3D printing?
Volumetric 3D printing, also known as holographic printing or multi-beam additive manufacturing, was created with the objective of achieving fast printing speeds and isotropic mechanical properties. Unlike the traditional layer-by-layer process, volumetric printing creates the entire 3D object at once by irradiating a volume of photosensitive resin from multiple angles.
以前，a new volumetric 3D printing technique是由研究人员开发的哈佛大学andStanford University可以制造没有支持结构的树脂零件。该方法使用包含纳米颗粒的树脂材料，只有在暴露于极为聚焦的光束时才会变得难。研究人员已经使在树脂池内的任何时刻（不仅在地面层上）进行打印，这是通过在整个树脂增值税中改变激光的重点来打印的。
以前，来自Berlin Aldershof科学技术公园正在研究双色体积3D打印技术在他们看来，这优于立体光刻和其他使用的3D打印技术。与Iris Aldershof化学家Stefan Hecht和物理学家Martin Regehly一起，Dirk Radzinski，柏林Aldershof创业公司的创始人Xolo，领导这种体积打印技术的开发，称为Xolography。根据其开发人员的说法，这种解决速度，表面质量和材料特性的方法概述了传统树脂印刷的三个“严重限制”。
