Technology & Products
Key Products
LOXIOL 316L metal filament; LOXIOL 17-4PH metal filament; LOXIOL Inconel 718 metal filament; MIM binders; FFF metal binders
Technological Advantage
CLAIMED: Thermoplastic binder formulations derived from 30+ years MIM binder expertise provide superior debinding and sintering profiles; eliminates powder hazards (explosion, inhalation risk) compared to LPBF/binder jetting. VERIFIED: Multiple European patents (filed 2019) on sinterable feedstocks and green bodies for 3D printing devices. Advantage is DEFENSIBLE (patented) but competes in a growing category with well-funded rivals.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Eliminates powder handling risks and enables 100% powder-to-part conversion in metal FFF, allowing manufacturers to produce corrosion-resistant, high-temperature, and surgical-grade metal parts safely using standard FFF equipment with no powder management infrastructure.
How They Differentiate
Positions against BASF Ultrafuse, Höganäs, and Advanced Powder Solutions in the FFF metal filament segment by leveraging oleochemical binder expertise from MIM heritage; differentiates on sustainability (natural-based feedstocks) and safety (no powder handling). Specific performance data versus named competitors not publicly available.
