Aibuild, the London-based software company driving global automation in additive manufacturing, has strengthened the partnership with Generative Machine Company, the innovative UK startup advancing desktop 3D printing through AI-generated 5-axis FFF systems. This collaboration is now market-ready and represents a breakthrough in intelligent manufacturing, combining world-leading advanced multi-axis hardware capabilities with sophisticated automation software.
"Our solution with Generative Machine represents an exciting convergence of next-generation hardware design and intelligent software automation. Their innovative approach to 5-axis printing, combined with our advanced automation capabilities, will unlock new possibilities for complex geometries and multi-directional prototyping and manufacturing that were previously impossible with traditional desktop systems."Michail Desyllas, COO and Co-founder of Aibuild
This solution addresses a fundamental challenge in desktop additive manufacturing: the limitations of traditional 3-axis printing systems. Generative Machine’s 5-axis FFF platform, enhanced with Aibuild’s intelligent software integration, enables unprecedented flexibility in component alignment and manufacturing strategies.
The integrated solution will leverage Aibuild’s advanced features including parametric slicing strategies, automated toolpath generation, and multi-axis printing optimization, all specifically tailored to desktop 5-axis manufacturing workflows. This combination allows for complex geometries to be printed without support structures and conformally, enabling improved surface finishes and part properties that can be tailored to specific use cases.
"For years, desktop additive manufacturing has been constrained by the conventional 3-axis approach. We want to change that by bringing to desktop users the same advanced capabilities found in robotics and LFAM. Our partnership with Aibuild is a major step toward making this technology accessible and placing a powerful new tool into the hands of the desktop users."Ric Real, CEO and Co-founder of Generative Machine Company.
The partnership reflects both companies’ commitment to democratizing advanced manufacturing technologies. By combining Generative Machine’s hardware philosophy with Aibuild’s accessible software platform, the collaboration aims to make sophisticated 5-axis printing capabilities available to researchers, educators, and manufacturers previously limited by traditional desktop printing constraints. This integrated solution will support applications where complex geometries and multi-directional printing capabilities are essential for innovation and product development.
"This partnership exemplifies our vision of making advanced manufacturing technologies more accessible. By integrating our software with Generative Machine's innovative 5-axis hardware, we're enabling a new generation of makers and manufacturers to push the boundaries of what's possible with desktop additive manufacturing."Daghan Cam, CEO, and Co-founder of Aibuild.
The collaboration positions both companies at the forefront of desktop 3D printing innovation, bringing industrial-grade capabilities and intelligent automation to a broader range of users while supporting innovation in the additive manufacturing community.
Generative Machine Company and Aibuild will be available for demonstrations at Formnext 2025 in Hall 12.1 B79.
Generative Machine Company will be speaking at Aibuild Industry Insights Live at Hall 12.1 B79 on Wednesday 19th November at 11.00am.
