Technology & Products
Key Products
High-performance 3D printing filaments including PA6 CF/GF, PAHT CF/GF, PPA, PPA CF/GF, PPA GF FR, PPS CF/GF, PET CF/GF and PET DET & FC, alongside PLA, PC, TPU, PETG and ASA 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.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Industrial engineers, automotive prototyping departments, robotics manufacturers, and high-end prosumers using desktop FDM printers.
Industry Verticals
Automotive, Robotics, Aerospace, Industrial Tooling, Consumer Electronics
Competitors
MatterHackers, igus
