Technology & Products
Key Products
APIC (Advanced Particle Induction Casting) — metal additive manufacturing system at early prototype stage; nanoparticle metal inks
Technological Advantage
Patent-pending APIC technology; graphite-enabled induction fusion; nanoparticle inkjet deposition; zero-waste process; multi-material capability; fully dense parts with minimal post-processing
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Zero-waste, multi-material metal additive manufacturing that fuses nanoparticle inkjet deposition with induction-based fusion, enabling fully dense metal parts with minimal post-processing.
How They Differentiate
APIC uses graphite as an active thermal medium to couple induction energy into printed material, enabling multi-material metal printing with zero waste, unlike conventional PBF-LB or DED processes.
