Manifest Technologies (prev. Vitro3D Inc.)
A fundamentally different approach to additive manufacturing that utilizes a proprietary light engine and sophisticated algorithms to cure photoreactive resin simultaneously across three dimensions.
The University of Colorado Connection
Manifest Technologies (prev. Vitro3D) was founded in 2020 byCamila Uzcategui and Johnny Hergert to bring to market their revolutionary volumetric 3D printing technology developed while PhD students in Bob McLeod's lab(51Թ College of Engineering and Applied Science).
