“Before Metafold, we spent precious time designing lattice structures and on print file generation. Now, thanks to Metafold we drastically simplified our workflow, accelerated our design and file generation by 90%, and it provides us with the flexibility we need in terms of lattice structures, sizing, inversion and print file generation. Most importantly, whenever we have a question, the Metafold team is ready to jump in and help so we can concentrate on the core of our own work, which is advancing the applied research for cultivated clean meat and fish.”

Overcoming Challenges in High Surface Area Manufacturing
The quest for increased surface area in biotech applications has traditionally resulted in large complex files, making efficient workflows challenging to maintain. Metafold 3D’s innovative cloud-based volumetric kernel is engineered to address these challenges, making it easy to manage high surface area models with unparalleled efficiency. By offering a staggering reduction in design time—over 90% when compared to traditional Boundary Representation (BREP) or mesh-based CAD systems—Metafold 3D enables biotech researchers to validate research theory with unprecedented efficiency.
By decoupling part size from resolution, Metafold 3D gives researchers the power to create and 3D print components with extraordinary detail. This is vital for applications requiring precise bone adhesion, optimal cell growth conditions, effective biofiltration, and more.
