Technology & Products
Key Products
Elastic ToughRubber 90; Soft ToughRubber; Elastic ToughRubber
Technological Advantage
Patented chemistry delivers industry-leading mechanical properties (e.g., 500% elongation, high tear resistance) in photopolymer resins, protected by IP from DARPA and NSF grants.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces production costs and lead times for elastomeric parts by up to 40% compared to traditional molding, while enabling complex geometries and on-demand manufacturing with materials offering 500% elongation and tear resistance.
How They Differentiate
3x higher elongation (500% vs. ~150% for standard elastomers) and superior tear resistance in photopolymer resins, specifically optimized for SLA/DLP printing vs. competitors' FDM-focused materials.
