Technology & Products
Key Products
EVO 3D Printer (current); DUO (discontinued); DYAD (coming 2027)
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
Reduces lead times for large-scale industrial components by combining high-speed extrusion (up to 600mm/s) with a large build volume, allowing for rapid prototyping and end-use part production in the semiconductor sector.
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
Semiconductor; Industrial; Aerospace
Competitors
BigRep; Modix; Raise3D
