Inkbit Expands with New 3D Printing Services
Enabling agile hardware development
Medford, MA- June 20, 2023- Inkbit, a pioneer in advanced additive manufacturing solutions, announces today the availability of its 3D printing services. Manufacturers looking to develop complex polymer products with intricate geometries and multi-material parts can now procure prototypes and production volumes without having to acquire an Inkbit Vista™ System.
What sets Inkbit 3D printing services apart is the unmatched printing accuracy, the geometric freedom and ability to print CAD files directly without the need for process-specific tweaks. Inkbit's technology is natively multi-material, enabling for example the printing of soft gaskets integrated into rigid structures. Thanks to its real-time 3D inspection system, the Inkbit process boasts extraordinary accuracy, guaranteeing that all components on the print bed will be consistently accurate and will fit together perfectly during assembly. With Inkbit's cutting-edge technology and meticulous attention to detail, customers can confidently rely on precise and high-quality results every time.
"We've been impressed by the quality and feature resolution of parts made by Inkbit's manufacturing service," says Pietro Filardo, Founder and CEO of Pliant Energy Systems Inc. "Their team has delivered high-quality, high-volume orders on a moment's notice, enabling our engineers to achieve milestones and breakthroughs in the development of our marine robotics and energy-harnessing technologies. We consider them an invaluable partner."
The Inkbit technology is particularly well suited to multi-component and multi-material products comprising large numbers of parts that benefit from agile-style development cycles. By leveraging state-of-the-art software algorithms and proprietary optics, Inkbit is setting a new standard in additive manufacturing. With exceptional precision and repeatability, manufacturers can now create multi-material, complex geometries and fine details that were previously challenging to achieve. With reduced lead times and faster iteration cycles, Inkbit can accelerate product development and open a world of possibilities for robotic, aerospace, fluidic, automotive, and other applications.
"Introducing our 3D printing services was a natural step in our commitment to provide customers with an accelerated path to the future of product development," says Davide Marini, CEO of Inkbit. "We want to offer a seamless end-to-end solution to facilitate the conception, refinement and realization of complex, multi-material, intelligent products."
With a relentless focus on precision, repeatability, and novel materials, Inkbit is looking to partner with forward-looking companies aiming to accelerate their product development cycles.

Featured Product
T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs
Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
