Technology & Products
Key Products
PA12; PA11; PA composites; TPU; TPE; PP; PA6; BLUECARE (food-contact PA11); DETECT (metal-detection PA11 composite); ACTIVE (water-industry certified material)
Technological Advantage
Proprietary powder development processes yield materials with specific certifications (e.g., BLUECARE is EU 10/2011 & FDA CFR 21 compliant, GMP, bio-sourced), protected by industry partnerships and technical expertise in SLS material science.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces production costs by eliminating expensive molds for low-volume parts (e.g., food conveyor belts) and provides certified materials that meet regulatory standards (EU 10/2011, FDA CFR 21, ACS), accelerating time-to-market for compliant applications.
How They Differentiate
Offers certified PA11 powders for food and water contact applications, unlike general-purpose competitors, with 95% SLS printer compatibility vs. limited machine ranges from niche material suppliers.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Industrial manufacturers, 3D printing service bureaus, and companies in food, pharmaceutical, and water industries requiring certified materials for end-use parts.
