Technology & Products
Key Products
High-speed LCD 3D printing systems with REACT1 technology; MRK III printer for dental/educational applications; MRK X printer for manufacturing enterprises
Technological Advantage
Proprietary LCD 3D printing process with real-time optimization (REACT1) achieves production speeds faster than traditional injection molding for complex parts, verified by industry buzz at RAPID + TCT 2018. Advantage is defensible through proprietary technology, though replicability depends on trade secrets.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces production lead times by enabling 3D printing speeds comparable to injection molding while maintaining the design flexibility and complexity advantages of additive manufacturing, targeting the untapped mass production market.
How They Differentiate
3x faster build speeds than conventional LCD 3D printers through REACT1 real-time optimization, enabling per-part production speeds less than injection molding for mass production applications, unlike competitors focused on prototyping or lower-volume production.
