Technology & Products
Key Products
ICARUS 3D Printer; CPX-KyronMAX filament; PETG filament/pellets; TPU filament/pellets
Technological Advantage
Proprietary CPX-KyronMAX material jointly developed for medical durability; hardware utilizes both robotic and cartesian architectures for high-speed pellet and filament extrusion.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables O&P clinicians to produce definitive prosthetic sockets in under two hours (vs traditional multi-day workflows) using proprietary CPX-KyronMAX filament, the first 3D printing material to achieve definitive socket classification.
How They Differentiate
Offers the only 3D printing filament (CPX-KyronMAX) classified for definitive prosthetic sockets, with a production speed of under 2 hours compared to competitors focused on programmable foam or standard digital workflows.
