Project Path
Technological Advantage
CLAIMED: Precise, continuous material deposition optimization for green parts destined for sintering, gas-tight components, and structurally demanding applications. Agnostic approach allows deployment across diverse FLM hardware. VERIFIED: Supported by competitive German/Bavarian startup grants (EXIST, FLÜGGE), indicating technical merit review; university collaboration with TH Rosenheim. No patents verified; no third-party benchmarks found.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables manufacturers to achieve gas-tight components, structurally sound sintered parts, and reliable FLM output without hardware changes, reducing scrap and ensuring quality in safety-critical production.
How They Differentiate
Machine- and material-agnostic path planning optimization specifically for FLM, contrasting with proprietary slicer tools bundled with specific hardware vendors (e.g., Ultimaker Cura, Bambu Studio). Targets process reliability for safety-critical industries rather than general consumer/prosumer use. Specific competitor benchmarks not available.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Aerospace, automotive, and medical technology companies requiring high-quality, safety-critical 3D printed parts via FLM processes.
Industry Verticals

Growth & Milestones
Growth Metrics
funding: EXIST Start-up Grant (German government startup funding program). note: No public patents registered under Advanced Additive/Aigner & Paternoster GbR found. Stefan Paternoster has patent applications for laser printing systems on record (Justia Patents), but ownership relation to the company unclear from public sources.
Major Milestones
Received EXIST (German federal startup grant) support; Received FLÜGGE (Bavarian startup funding) support; University collaboration established with TH Rosenheim; Real-world use cases achieved: sinter-based parts, gas-tight components, structural parts; Exhibited at Formnext 2025 (Hall 12.1, C71)
