Technology & Products
Key Products
Cx5 sculpting material; Cx5s sculpting material; Cx5 Sculptable Filament for 3D printers; Safe-Smooth Solvent for Cx5; Sculpting tools (Kerr Ultra Waxer 2, sanding sponges); Tutorial videos and workshops
Technological Advantage
Proprietary Cx5 material formulation (density 1.25 g/cm³) that bridges 3D printing and traditional sculpting, protected by trade secrets and inventor expertise; enables unique workflow where prints serve as armatures for detailed sculpting.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Replaces traditional sculpting materials (clay, wax, plastic) with a 3D printable filament that allows for detailed hand-sculpting after printing, reducing material waste and enabling rapid iteration in character design and prototyping.
How They Differentiate
Unlike standard PLA/PETG filaments, Cx5 filament is specifically designed for post-print sculpting with clay-like workability and wax-like finish, whereas competitors focus on printability and mechanical properties without sculptability.
