PanOptimization was founded to address the current simulation and optimization needs of the AM market; to simulate parts of extreme geometric complexity and to not just predict print outcomes but to improve/optimize them.

We are located in State College Pennsylvania, just across the street from Penn State’s CIMP-3D Lab.
