Technology & Products
Key Products
BMPD Multi-material 3D Printer; Metal and Ceramic Powder Feedstocks; Multi-material AM Design Software
Technological Advantage
Proprietary Bound Material Powder Deposition (BMPD) allows for discrete control of multiple materials at the voxel level, enabling sharp interfaces between dissimilar materials. Defensible via US Patent 11,141,787.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables the production of functionally graded multi-material parts (e.g., metal-to-ceramic) in a single build, reducing production costs by eliminating assembly and brazing steps for complex industrial components.
How They Differentiate
BMPD achieves higher interface precision between dissimilar materials compared to Aerosint's drum-based system, enabling sharper transitions in functionally graded materials without cross-contamination.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Industrial R&D centers and aerospace manufacturers requiring high-performance multi-material components like heat exchangers or turbine blades.
Industry Verticals
Aerospace; Medical; Electronics; Tooling
Competitors
Aerosint; XJet; Admatec
