Technology & Products
Key Products
GP 13 SLA Laser 3D Printer; Electroplater (for metal-like part finishing); Proprietary Resin; Plating Consumables
Technological Advantage
Patent-protected drum printer technology for multi-table high-speed production; integrated plating workflow eliminates post-processing outsourcing; proprietary resin formulation at 75% cost reduction vs. market leaders.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Democratized SLA printing: printer + electroplater bundle costs 1/3 of Formlabs equivalent; proprietary resin costs 1/4 of competitor pricing; cloud-based software with WiFi/Bluetooth/webcam/SD card; converts FDM users to SLA without premium pricing barrier.
How They Differentiate
1/3 system cost vs. Formlabs (printer + plater bundle); 1/4 resin cost; integrated electroplating without separate vendor; cloud-native software; modular build volume scaling.
Market & Competition
