Your co-pilot in predictive manufacturing

Build with
Confidence.

From Guesswork to Predictive Intelligence in Manufacturing.

OptiFab uses AI-driven solutions to eliminate repetitive tasks, reduce human error and connect design, process and execution — so critical decisions are made with full context, not assumptions.

The Problem

Surprises emerge between disconnected steps — not within them.

Design, process and execution live in separate silos. By the time a defect appears, the context that caused it is already gone. The result: scrapped parts, wasted material and slow, expensive iteration.

Today: a fragmented chain where decisions are made without full context.
Failed and defective 3D-printed metal parts
The cost of guesswork: failed builds discovered only after the fact.
The Solution — OptiScan

One continuous thread of intelligence.

OptiScan connects design → process → execution into a single predictive workflow. Critical decisions are made with full context, so problems are caught before they cost you a part.

How OptiScan works

Three stages, fully connected.

  1. 01

    Pre-Production Intelligence

    AI analyzes CAD geometry, material properties and process parameters to predict thermal hotspots and high-risk areas before production starts — fast, design-level thermal simulation.

  2. 02

    In-Process Monitoring

    Connects to machine sensors and controllers, streaming thermal, acoustic and pressure data in real time — adaptively adjusting parameters as the build runs.

  3. 03

    Post-Production Traceability

    Aggregates data into quality reports and digital traces for aerospace and medical certification and compliance — full lifecycle accountability.

What OptiScan covers

Predictive intelligence across the entire build lifecycle.

Diagram of what OptiScan covers across the manufacturing lifecycle

AI Prediction Engine

Physics-aware models forecast thermal hotspots and failure risk before a single layer is printed.

Real-Time Sensor Integration

Streams thermal, acoustic and pressure signals straight from machine controllers as the build happens.

Adaptive Process Optimization

Closed-loop adjustments tune parameters mid-process to keep every part inside spec.

Materials & Process Knowledge Base

A growing library of validated material and process data that gets smarter with every build.

Collaborative Learning Network

Insights compound across teams and sites, so a lesson learned once is never re-learned the hard way.

Dashboard & Alerts

A single view of quality, throughput and risk — with proactive alerts before issues escalate.

Outcomes

Measurable impact on the metrics that matter.

If I tried to develop something like OptiFab’s solution in-house, it would cost me 10 times more.
