Technology & Products
Key Products
EBHD Series (indoor thermoplastics); IND Series (outdoor 3D concrete printing); EB 2076 LX; EB844HD; EB644HD; Custom large-format printers up to 100 feet
Technological Advantage
Proprietary CNC gantry system with open-source electronics enables versatile material printing (thermoplastics, concrete) without supports, protected by design expertise from over 30 years in rapid prototyping; advantage is replicable but defended by custom engineering and modularity.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces lead times and costs for large-scale prototypes and end-use parts by offering stationary bed gantry systems that eliminate weight dynamics issues, support multi-process fabrication (additive/subtractive), and use open-source electronics for flexibility.
How They Differentiate
Offers larger standard build volumes (up to 23 cubic meters vs. re:3D Gigabot's ~1 cubic meter) and stationary bed design for stability, with 30% faster setup times due to no bed leveling required; supports both thermoplastic and concrete printing in one platform unlike most single-material competitors.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Industrial manufacturers, rapid prototyping firms, automotive and marine sectors, universities, and large-scale construction projects.
Industry Verticals
Aerospace/Defense; Automotive; Marine; Construction; Education; Rapid Prototyping
