About the Company

Founded from Harvard, Voxel8 commercialized a unique multi-material digital manufacturing system to revolutionize how footwear and athletic apparel are designed, manufactured, and delivered to consumers.  In August 2021, Voxel8 was acquired by Kornit Digital, a leading-edge technology company that develops, manufactures and markets industrial and commercial, sustainable, digital printing solutions for Direct-To-Garment and Direct-To-Fabric applications. Combining the two technologies will enable even more enhanced printing solutions.
