Technological Advantage
Vertical integration combining in-house 3D printer manufacturing with dedicated photopolymer material development team creates optimized hardware-software-material synergy specifically for microfluidics. Achieves 50μm feature resolution with exceptionally smooth surface finishes critical for fluid flow. Validated benchside workflow eliminates traditional cleanroom dependencies, reducing fabrication time from weeks to hours and protecting researcher IP through in-house production.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Simplifying microfluidic device fabrication through a complete 3D printing system that combines high-precision printers, specialized materials, and validated workflows, enabling researchers to design, iterate, and produce fully functional microfluidic devices in one day at the benchtop.
How They Differentiate
First complete 3D printing ecosystem purpose-built specifically for microfluidics applications, combining precision DLP printing technology (50μm feature resolution) with proprietary photopolymer formulations optimized for microfluidic device requirements. Enables multi-application capabilities (clear devices with encapsulated features, master molds for PDMS, and biocompatible devices) in a single machine with validated benchside workflow eliminating cleanroom dependencies.
