HYBRID Software has launched an internal startup unit in Ghent to develop and drive software solutions in 3D and additive manufacturing. The unit aims to create new application-specific solutions by leveraging existing company products and expertise. Kris Binon, former director of Flam3D, leads the unit.
Nick De Roeck, CTO and co-president of HYBRID Software, explains, “HYBRID sees 3D & additive manufacturing as a significant growth opportunity. Our recent acquisition of iC3D and the purchase of the Quadraxis IP gives us key technologies to further develop our business in this market. Inkjet 3D printing is one of the most flexible additive manufacturing technologies. Its ability to create radical new products is helping to drive 3D printing adoption in the traditional manufacturing space. The company’s expertise in industrial inkjet systems is already extensive. We bring a huge amount of value to manufacturers whom we help to harness the power of inkjet for additive manufacturing applications without the distraction of having to design electronics and software solutions in-house. In view of the growth potential of this market we felt it was time to consolidate the many skills that are distributed across the company to expand our offering.”
Hybrid Software Group, which includes Meteor Inkjet, sees 3D and additive manufacturing as strategic markets. Meteor Inkjet is a leading developer of printhead drive electronics, software, tools and services for industrial inkjet systems and printing equipment. Meteor’s customers include some of the largest manufacturers of 3D printing and additive manufacturing equipment. Two other Hybrid Software Group companies, Global Graphics Software and Xitron, also have many years of experience in providing solutions to inkjet printer manufacturers.
