Technology & Products
Key Products
Fabrica 2.0 (Tera 250) micro-AM system; Fabrica Micro-AM Materials (proprietary photopolymers)
Technological Advantage
The Fabrica 2.0 system uses a patented adaptive optical system to maintain consistent micron-level resolution across large build areas (up to 50x50 mm), addressing the key industry challenge of repeatability in micro-3D printing. This is protected by trade secrets and acquired patents from Nanofabrica. The advantage is difficult to replicate due to the combination of optics, materials, and process control, though well-funded competitors like BMF have similar capabilities.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables repeatable micron-level resolution at production speeds (up to 100x faster than competitor micro-3D printers), reducing per-part cost by eliminating tooling and post-processing steps typically required for micro-injection molding.
How They Differentiate
3-5x faster build speed than BMF systems (due to high-speed DLP projection), with comparable resolution (1 µm vs 2 µm BMF). Repeatable micron-level accuracy without manual calibration, unlike many competitors. Lower cost-per-part for medium volumes (100-10,000 units) vs micro-injection molding.
