Build with Confidence. 

Deliver On

Data-driven quality assurance for manufacturing – achieving first-time success through predictive insights, real-time monitoring, and comprehensive traceability.

Our software, OptiScan, integrates seamlessly into your existing manufacturing workflow to identify thermal anomalies and prevent build issues before they happen. We help you improve predictability and quality assurance without costly trial-and-error.

Trusted by leading research institutions and industry partners

If you’re in manufacturing, you’ve probably experienced these headaches

image

Rejected Parts & Scrap

High scrap rates from failed builds (wasted material and time)

image

Costly Post-Processing

Up to 50% additional costs in heat treatment and rework

image

Machine Downtime

Frequent process tweaks and retries leading to idle machines

image

Production Delays

Missed deadlines due to trial-and-error and unpredictable quality

image

Inconsistent Quality

Variability in part performance, risking failures in service

image

Material Waste

Expensive powders and materials lost on non-conforming parts

  • “Average scrap rate in aerospace additive can be 15-25% per build.

  • “One failed build can waste $10k+ in material and machine time.”​

  • "Catching defects can save up to 70% of production costs."

Every defective part means losing money – but it’s preventable.

What happens when heat imbalances go unchecked?

Without Thermal Intelligence

Simulation or trial-and-error

With OptiFab Thermal Intelligence

Pre- and in-process thermal control

Defect-free part – ready for use immediately (No rework needed)

  • Cracks, warping, and defects due to heat stress

  • Unpredictable quality – trial & error approach
  • Costly post-processing and wasted materials

  • Predictive insights to prevent defects before they form

  • Consistent quality every build – no trial & error

  • 50% lower costs – no expensive post-processing

Every build without OptiScan is costing you – in scrap, time, and opportunity. It’s time to stop the bleed.

OptiScan ensures your next build is a success, not an experiment.

OptiFab’s approach ensures your success in three steps:

Step 1: Prediction

Before production, we analyze part geometry, material properties, and process parameters to predict high-risk zones, like thermal hotspots, distortion-prone areas, or defect-prone features, so you can address issues before pressing start.

Together, these three steps guarantee first-pass success and defect-free production, fulfilling the promise of zero-defect manufacturing.

Step 2: Monitor

​​During production, our system continuously tracks key process signals (e.g., heat, energy input, scan pattern stability) in real time. This allows you to detect deviations early, prevent defect formation, and maintain process stability without trial-and-error.

Step 3: Outcome

After production, we generate a comprehensive digital quality record by analyzing production data against certification requirements. This traceability layer enables faster approvals, easier audits, and confidence in part integrity, without excessive re-testing.

What manufacturers say about OptiFab

“If I tried to develop something like OptiFab’s solution in-house, it would cost me 10 times more, so I see OptiFab as a smart, affordable choice.“
