Holo,
Holo develops and utilizes a proprietary additive manufacturing technology called PureForm™. This technology uses a slurry-based vat photopolymerization (VPP) process. It begins with a proprietary slurry of metal injection molding (MIM) powder and a photo-curable binder. Parts are built layer-by-layer with high-resolution optical printers. The resulting 'green state' parts are then put through a standard MIM sintering process to remove the binder and densify the material, resulting in a high-resolution, pure metal or ceramic component.

["PureForm™ Additive Manufacturing Technology","H200 Production AM System","On-demand parts manufacturing services"]
Technological Advantage
Holo's technology bridges the gap between prototyping and mass production in metal AM. It allows customers to use the same process for both rapid prototyping and scaled production, significantly lowering the barrier to adoption for complex, high-performance metal parts.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enabling the production of fine-featured, complex metal and ceramic parts at scale, combining the design freedom of additive manufacturing with the volume and material properties of traditional manufacturing methods like MIM.
How They Differentiate
Holo differentiates itself by focusing on very high-resolution, micro-scale parts using its unique slurry-based VPP technology. While competitors in binder jetting also target production, Holo's process offers finer feature resolution, making it suitable for applications like medical instruments and microelectronics components.
