meta-fold

Metafold Inc.

Metafold is a 3D printing startup that leverages mathematics to print complex geometries such as lattices, microstructures, and metamaterials (engineered materials). The proposed project is a collaboration to unlock new manufacturing possibilities within 3D printing, such as vascularized tissues in life sciences, ultra-light lattice parts for aerospace applications, or new photosensitive material possibilities in metal and ceramic.

Project Objectives:

  • Explore new methodologies for creating metamaterials in reaction to application-specific needs, such as achieving high strength geometries with minimal material.

  • Explore procedural generation of vascular geometry and its implication for 3D printing living tissue.

  • Collaborate on material development for DLP-based 3D printers, particularly in metal and ceramic.

What THEY bring to the table:

  • Metafold will provide its patent-pending 3D printing technology and expertise on its usage.

  • Metafold will work closely with potential partners to adapt our printing technology (geometry generation, build volume, and resolution/accuracy) for the intended application.

  • The Metafold founders bring substantial applied geometry expertise. They have over 20 combined years of experience as mathematical consultants in the architecture, engineering, and industrial manufacturing industries (see MESH Consultants: www.meshconsultants.ca).

What YOU will bring to the table:

  • They seek expertise in medical technologies and vascular geometries/tissue printing.

  • Alternatively, they seek manufacturers with expertise in high precision manufacturing for the aerospace industry.

  • Metafold is also keenly interested in partnering with a materials producer interested in developing and testing photosensitive resins in metals and ceramics.
