Manifest Applied sciences (previously Vitro3D) has unveiled its Parallax Volumetric Additive Manufacturing (P-VAM) analysis package at RAPID + TCT 2025.
The launch marks a big step towards commercialising Manifest’s additive course of, which has been developed to allow engineers, R&D groups, and strategic companions to check and discover the ‘transformative potential of volumetric additive manufacturing’ firsthand.
Based on Manifest, Parallax VAM overcomes many persistent limitations of conventional additive manufacturing and pairs effectively with present high-throughput forming processes like injection moulding to open up new alternatives for manufacturing functions.
Manifest lists 4 key benefits of its VAM course of, together with layerless 3D fabrication, design freedom, huge materials compatibility, and manufacturing line readiness. The know-how works to concurrently remedy liquid resin in three dimensions, eliminating layers and assist buildings to supply intricate, totally stable components. Manifest suggests this permits the printing of components between 10-100x sooner than standard additive strategies, opening up mass customisation and scalable manufacturing alternatives. The know-how can be stated to facilitate the seamless embedding of electronics or objects immediately inside fabricated components, whereas customers are free to experiment with a various array of photopolymer resins. A compact and modular {hardware} additionally lends itself effectively to serial manufacturing environments, in accordance with the corporate.
CEO and co-founder Camila Uzcategui stated: “We based Manifest to essentially reimagine additive manufacturing—shifting past layer-by-layer printing to on the spot, multidimensional formation of stable components utilizing exactly managed beams of sunshine. At a time when the extra mature additive applied sciences are starting to stagnate, we view the debut of our P-VAM analysis package at RAPID + TCT as an invite to forward-thinking companions to affix us and manifest completely different.”
Manifest is at the moment inviting mechanical engineers and industrial R&D groups to take part in an analysis program, with contributors capable of affect the route and industrial potential of the know-how and uncover new functions. The corporate will showcase the know-how at this week’s RAPID + TCT from sales space #3443.
