Technology & Products
Key Products
EFT 500-900 soak tanks (polyjet/resin wash); SSR 550 and 1000 soak tanks (support removal for FDM); Eco-400 water recycling system; Eco-600 water recycling system; Eco-PRO-1000 water recycling system; Custom workstations and bespoke sinks for integration; Solvent and non-solvent wash solutions
Technological Advantage
Specialized, hard-to-replicate post-processing expertise in a fragmented market with few dedicated suppliers; cost advantage over open-system washing (operator safety compliance, reduced chemical costs); equipment integration directly with popular printer models (Polyjet, FDM, SLA, DLP) creates switching friction.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Production-line quality finishing systems with environmental benefits and cost advantages; bespoke engineering to customer specifications; eco-friendly water recycling reduces chemical waste and disposal costs while improving operator safety through enclosed wash chamber design.
How They Differentiate
Only dedicated specialist in bespoke, enclosed washing systems across multiple printer types (Polyjet, FDM, SLA, DLP); superior operator safety and environmental compliance vs DIY; turnkey solutions vs component-based alternatives; 14+ years market presence (since 2011) with established reputation.
Market & Competition
