Technology & Products
Key Products
Offers engineering solutions and plastic prototyping services, specializing in express injection molding for prototypes and small series (50-1000 units) delivered in 5-15 working days. Also serves as a dedicated prototyping partner within the IMSE (In-Mold Structural Electronics) ecosystem, delivering molded parts using IMSE-compatible polymers.
Technological Advantage
High-speed production (5-15 days) for injection-molded parts which typically have long lead times; ISO 9001:2015 certified.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces lead times for production-grade plastic prototypes from months to 5-15 days, enabling rapid iteration and small-series production (up to 1000 units) for medical and automotive applications.
How They Differentiate
Offers an alternative/complement to traditional AM by providing production-grade plastic parts (injection molded) at prototyping speeds (5-15 days) for high-integrity applications.
