Technology & Products

Key Products

["Proprietary SLS optical head with tunable semiconductor laser","Production-grade industrial 3D printer systems","Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) image heads for 3D printing","Multi-beam parallel laser scanning system (up to 6 combined lasers)","Wavelength-tunable laser printhead technology"]

Technological Advantage

Combines tunable wavelength laser technology with parallel beam architecture, allowing cost-effective combination of up to six lasers into one beam for increased power and faster printing speed; overcomes the limitation of traditional SLS systems that use fixed-wavelength lasers incompatible with many thermoplastic materials; enables production-grade printing at significantly lower costs

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Delivers up to 10x reduction in printing costs compared to existing SLS systems, enables industrial-grade printing quality with virtually any thermoplastic material (including PAs, PPs, and TPUs), provides superior mechanical properties (up to 10x better in all three dimensions), higher resolution, faster printing speeds, and finer detail capabilities

How They Differentiate

3DM uses proprietary tunable semiconductor laser technology for cost-effective SLS printing, unlike competitors with non-customizable lasers, aiming to reduce printing costs by up to 10x and enable industrial-grade printing with any thermoplastic material.

Why this company matters

3DM Digital Manufacturing develops selective laser sintering (SLS) optical heads that use proprietary tunable semiconductor lasers, replacing the fixed-wavelength lasers in conventional SLS systems. This design allows the laser wavelength to be matched to the optimal absorption of any thermoplastic material, including PAs, PPs, and TPUs, making the process material-agnostic. The company's parallel multi-beam architecture can combine up to six lasers into one beam, increasing power and print speed.

Target customers include industrial manufacturers, service bureaus, and companies in aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and consumer goods seeking production-grade polymer AM at lower cost. 3DM claims its technology delivers up to 10x better mechanical properties in all three dimensions compared to existing SLS systems, along with higher resolution and faster printing. A first production-grade machine was delivered to an unnamed customer in 2023.

The company raised $13 million and went public on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange in June 2021. Key investors include Terralab Ventures, 3D Ventures Group, and several Israeli institutional investors. CEO Daniel Majer holds a Ph.D. from the Weizmann Institute and has over 25 years of experience in electro-optics and laser development.

3DM's main competitive risk lies in scaling production and convincing established SLS users to switch from mature, fixed-wavelength systems. Its tunable-laser approach could open new applications for SLS in high-performance thermoplastics, but the company must prove reliability and throughput at industrial scale.
