Portfolio news:

A new paper from the NASA Glenn Research Center applies – and validates! – the Alchemite™ machine learning software from Cambridge-based (Cohort 1 member) Intellegens to the design of shape memory alloys and heat exchangers.

Cohort 2 member Ai Build recently sat down with 3D Print to discuss their journey from a single 3D printer attached to a robotic arm, their latest $3.2 million investment round and becoming a leading additive manufacturing startup.

Congrats to Cohort 3 member Amygda on their £200k investment from Boeing and Tawazun Economic Council (The UAE defence and security acquisitions authority for the UAE Armed Forces and Abu Dhabi Police) to leverage strategic expertise and validate their platform as they accelerate product development.
