Technology & Products
Key Products
["FibreSeeker 3 (Flagship desktop CFC 3D printer)","X-CCF (Proprietary Continuous Carbon Fiber filament)","X-CGF (Proprietary Continuous Glass Fiber filament)","FibreSeek Slicing Software (Optimized for composite path planning)","Standard FFF Support Materials (PLA, PETG, PA, PC)"]
Technological Advantage
Uses a dual-nozzle system where continuous fiber is impregnated with thermoplastic just before extrusion (CFC), ensuring superior bonding and part integrity compared to 'chopped fiber' filaments. It also features a significantly lower cost of ownership with fiber spools priced at ~$49 per 500m versus $500+ for industrial alternatives.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Brings aerospace-grade material strength (15x stronger than standard PLA) to a desktop format at a fraction of the cost of industrial competitors like Markforged.
How They Differentiate
Democratizes industrial-grade continuous fiber printing by offering an open-source material ecosystem and a price point (~$2,500) that is 80-90% lower than industrial leaders like Markforged ($15k+). It utilizes a dual-nozzle CFC (Continuous Fiber Co-extrusion) system allowing for high-strength reinforcement with significantly cheaper proprietary fiber spools.
