Technology & Products
Key Products
Electrochemical additive manufacturing processes; Electro-codeposition for covetic materials; Surface finishing and coating processes; Custom electrochemical systems
Technological Advantage
Faraday's electrochemical AM approach allows direct printing of metal components in low Earth orbit, leveraging microgravity to create materials with unique properties. The process is protected by a portfolio of patents and trade secrets.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Provides scalable electrochemical process development from bench to full-scale, enabling on-demand production of high-performance metal components with unique material properties.
How They Differentiate
Unlike laser-based metal AM, Faraday's electrochemical approach operates at room temperature, enabling printing of materials with unique nanostructures and compatibility with microgravity.
