Growth & Milestones
Growth Metrics
0: Founded in 2009 with a focus on creating independent polymer powders for the SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) market.. 1: In 2014, the company reported a production capacity of 500 kg of material per month, with a target to double production to 1,000 kg per month.. 2: Estimated annual revenue in 2014 was approximately €500,000 based on production targets and a market price of €39/kg for its HDPE powder.. 3: Major milestone in 2024: Joined the HSS Material Network in collaboration with Fraunhofer IPA, the University of Bayreuth, and voxeljet AG to qualify materials for High Speed Sintering (HSS) technology.. 4: Product portfolio expansion from a single HDPE material in 2014 to a range of Polypropylene (PP) and High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) variants (e.g., Laser PP CP 22, CP 60, CP 75) used extensively in industrial research and medical application testing as of 2021-2025.
Major Milestones
Founded 2009 by Michael Putsch; Released polypropylene powder for laser sintering; Developed HDPE HX 17 formulation
