Technology & Products
Key Products
High-performance 3D printing filaments including glass fiber reinforced flame retardant PPA, industrial PA6 CF, and PA6 GF. They also offer PLA, PC, TPU, PETG, ASA, and PPS filaments.
Technological Advantage
Achieves a Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) of up to 197°C and supports high-speed printing (300 mm/s) at a disruptive price point of approximately CNY 200/kg, significantly lowering the barrier to entry for functional part production.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Democratizes the production of high-temperature functional parts by eliminating the need for expensive heated-chamber industrial printers through proprietary low-warp polymer technology.
How They Differentiate
Shifts the technical requirement for high-temp printing from expensive hardware (heated chambers) to advanced polymer chemistry, offering industrial-grade PA6 CF/GF with 197°C HDT and glass fiber reinforced flame retardant PPA with UL94-V0 rating and heat resistance up to 250C, enabling high-speed printing on desktop hardware.
