Technology & Products
Key Products
EVO platform (current) - modular Single-Cell Manufacturing system with 10+ production functions including additive manufacturing, CNC machining, electronics assembly; DUO (discontinued)
Technological Advantage
Maintains precision at speeds significantly higher than standard industrial FDM systems (up to 600mm/s), protected by patents such as US11141914B2.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables distributed manufacturing by consolidating traditional factory lines into a single modular cell (EVO platform), allowing organizations to produce industrial components locally without centralized factory infrastructure, serving defense, semiconductor, and advanced manufacturing sectors.
How They Differentiate
Offers significantly higher print speeds (up to 600mm/s) and a more versatile IDEX system compared to standard large-format incumbents like BigRep.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Industrial manufacturers and semiconductor equipment producers requiring large-scale, multi-material components.
Industry Verticals
Defense; Semiconductor; Industrial; Advanced Manufacturing
Competitors
BigRep; Modix; Raise3D
