Technology & Products
Key Products
Stereolithography (SLA) prototypes; Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) parts; Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) components; Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) functional prototypes; PolyJet multi-material models; Vacuum casting for small batches
Technological Advantage
Proprietary expertise in selecting optimal 3D printing technology for each application (e.g., MJF for functional prototypes, SLA for high-detail models), combined with in-house post-processing capabilities for finishing and coloring.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Offers ISO 9001-certified, end-to-end rapid prototyping services with dedicated project management, enabling clients to validate designs faster and reduce time-to-market by 40-60% compared to traditional methods.
How They Differentiate
Focuses exclusively on rapid prototyping and small-batch production (up to 5,000 parts) with dedicated project management from design to delivery, unlike larger marketplaces that may lack personalized service. Offers ISO 9001 certification for quality assurance.
