Camila Uzcategui

Dr. Camila Uzcategui is the Co‑Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Manifest Technologies, a Boulder, Colorado-based company developing volumetric additive manufacturing as a cornerstone technology for next-generation industrialization. 

She earned her BS in Physics and BA in Anthropology from Florida International University and her PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Colorado Boulder. 

With over nine years of experience in light-based additive manufacturing, Uzcategui brings deep expertise in translating advanced technologies into industrial applications. She co‑founded Manifest Technologies (formerly Vitro3D) in 2020 to commercialize a proprietary process that cures three‑dimensional sections of material simultaneously—enabling designs previously impossible with molding, overprinting around embedded structures, and supporting high‑mix manufacturing. By reducing or eliminating process steps such as bonding and adhesion, Manifest’s platform simplifies production workflows and accelerates delivery across industries. 

Uzcategui was selected as a member of the Activate Fellowship Cohort 2024, a two-year program supporting entrepreneurial scientists and engineers advancing transformative technologies. She was also named one of BizWest’s 40 Under Forty for the Boulder Valley region, recognizing her leadership and contributions to Colorado’s innovation ecosystem.
