Technology & Products
Key Products
CERES micro-3D printing system; MicroLED probe cards; Custom micro-3D printed probes
Technological Advantage
Technology moat: Patented FluidFM-based process enables printing of overhanging parts without supports and achieves sub-micron resolution, protected by intellectual property from Cytosurge spin-off.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables direct 3D printing of complex metal micro-parts (size range <1 µm to 1000 µm) at room temperature without supports or post-processing, reducing lead times and costs for prototyping and production of micro-components.
How They Differentiate
3x smaller minimum feature size (<1 µm vs. ~500 µm for competitors) and ability to print at room temperature without post-processing, unlike sinter-based or lithography-based metal AM methods.
