In the burgeoning 3D-printing industry, fine-grained detail is often exchanged for production speed. Manufacturing complex parts has many challenges. The bottom line, speed matters. By intelligently distributing toolpaths between multiple collaborating machines, systems enabled by Project Escher can manufacture parts faster than traditional 3D printers. Project Escher is a parallel processing system where numerous independent tools collaborate to fabricate a design. It’s faster because whatever the job is, there are more workers on that job. And there is no compromise to detail because we’re using proven existing technology. Through software and control strategy we’re enabling the industry to build a fundamentally new manufacturing architecture. As 3D printing seems to be a bigger and bigger part of everyday life, this technology could finally speed up the formerly slow processes of 3D printing.
