Vixiv’s HP Multi Jet Fusion machine enables 3D printing of just under 1,300 geometric unit cells in a single build like the ones seen here.
Voxel, an Ohio-based startup and engineering design software developer, is rebranding to Vixiv.
“Although we are renaming the company, Vixiv remains steadfast in its commitment to developing AI-enhanced predictive design software,” says Aaron Chow, company co-founder. “As our software development accelerated, we realized the impact of this technology is broader than we first thought. The new name, Vixiv, encompasses the true scope of our vision.”
The company’s website, www.vixiv.net, has also been revised to reflect this enhanced mission.

The company says its software is a game-changer in the 3D design process. With this software, an engineer can generate a design concept for 3D printing in seconds, which traditionally takes months of iterative design and testing cycles. It is said this Vixiv software feature can transform the way design engineering is done.
The beta version will be available in 2025, offering a glimpse into the future of design engineering. While the initial version addresses only weight reduction applications, future versions will address other design goals such as thermal management, impact dampening and vibration. Plans are being made for future versions to address other design goals to address multiphysics design problems as well.
In addition to software development, Vixiv continues to offer design engineering services and contract printing.
