Matta is a well-funded stealth startup building deep learning software to realise the full potential of 3D printing, enabling additive manufacturing to spearhead the next industrial revolution. The company’s technology and algorithms are based on revolutionary work by a team of engineers and scientists at Cambridge. Our self-learning AI platform provides the most advanced quality control, error detection, and correction whilst being completely generalisable across materials, machines, and geometries. Ultimately, we are working on applying our learning algorithms end-to-end, from design to manufacture, enabling the creation of highly complex products with unrivalled consistency.
Come join an incredible team and make a massive impact as an early team member. What could be more awesome than the latest machine learning research and techniques combined with 3D printing? It almost sounds too good to be true… so come and help us change the way humans make things!
