Key Products
DEMEX system
Technological Advantage
Achieves 100% material strength; enables large-format printing of high-performance plastics like PEEK; integrated with Siemens Industrial Edge and SINUMERIK controls.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Eliminates layer adhesion weaknesses in polymer AM by achieving 100% material strength (vs 40-60% industry standard), allowing for serial production of high-performance parts like PEEK.
How They Differentiate
Achieves 100% material strength compared to 40-60% in conventional polymer extrusion methods by using high-intensity LEDs to heat surfaces before layer deposition.
