Uforms technology enables companies to build custom 3D solutions as digital factories in the cloud to take full advantage of automation, parametric design and robotic manufacturing. Building on over 30 years of R&D, Uforms goal is to elevate the 3D design and manufacturing space with software technologies that allow for an entire new class of design tools to fully realize the hardware capabilities of 3D printing and robotic manufacturing. This technology offers real volume modeling ideally suited for generative constraint based design, painless end-to-end automation of additive manufacturing processes, true parametric based bio-medical modeling, and the creation of meta-materials and complex geometries with natural-like attributes.
