Technology & Products
Key Products
AX-150 automatic desktop vacuum investment casting system (converts polymer 3D prints to metal, supports Al/Zn/Cu/Ag/Au alloys, compact form factor, standard electrical outlet, overnight cycle); automated investment casting workflow; target markets include jewelers, dental labs, foundry prototyping, industrial R&D.
Technological Advantage
Automated vacuum investment casting process in compact desktop form factor; compatibility with all common casting alloys (Al, Zn, Cu, Ag, Au); PhD-level additive manufacturing and robotics expertise from TU Munich founders; formerly LambdaFab UG — pivoted to AX-150 commercialization; Munich Business Plan Competition 2025 Phase 2 nominee.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables rapid, low-cost production of custom metal parts from any desktop polymer 3D print — using automated investment casting on a standard power outlet, eliminating the need for industrial foundry infrastructure, specialized skills, or expensive metal AM machines for prototype and small-batch metal components.
How They Differentiate
Only automated desktop investment casting system; works with any polymer 3D printed pattern vs competing metal AM requiring metal powder; uses established lost-wax alloys vs novel metal AM materials; overnight cycle vs days/weeks for outsourced casting.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Product designers and engineers requiring metal prototypes; jewelry designers and small-batch jewelers; dental laboratories; foundries and casting service bureaus; university and R&D labs needing metal parts from 3D printed patterns; industrial companies replacing CNC-machined prototypes.
Industry Verticals
Industrial Manufacturing; Jewelry; Dental; Foundry; R&D/Prototyping; Consumer Products
Competitors
Formlabs (Fuse 1 SLS for plastic bridging; no direct metal desktop equivalent); Zetacast (investment casting services); traditional foundry services for prototype casting
