Technology & Products
Key Products
Progressive cavity pumps, peristaltic pumps, gear pumps, and screw pumps for resin delivery, binder jetting, and material extrusion.
Technological Advantage
Proprietary pump configurations optimized for 2-part mixing and abrasive material handling, backed by 20+ years of application engineering expertise.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Eliminates flow fluctuations in AM extrusion and resin delivery systems, enabling the use of high-viscosity materials while ensuring dimensional accuracy and reducing scrap rates.
How They Differentiate
Provides a wider range of pump architectures (screw, gear, peristaltic) than micro-dispensing specialists, supporting both micro-scale and large-format industrial AM applications like concrete and large-scale polymer extrusion.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
AM hardware OEMs and industrial manufacturers developing large-format extrusion or high-viscosity resin systems.
Industry Verticals
Aerospace, Automotive, Construction, Chemical, Food & Beverage, Additive Manufacturing
Competitors
ViscoTec, HNP Mikrosysteme, Graco
