Technology & Products

Key Products

Lynxter produces silicone 3D printers, including the S300X – FIL11 | FIL 11 IDEX 3D printing system. They also partner with 3Deus Dynamics to enhance silicone 3D printing through Dynamic Molding technology.

Technological Advantage

The ability to print multiple materials, especially technical materials like silicones and ceramics, on one machine provides a strong technological advantage. This reduces the need for multiple specialized printers, saving cost and space for their customers. Their open ecosystem for materials further enhances this advantage.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

A single, modular machine capable of printing a wide range of materials, including technical materials like silicones and ceramics, offering versatility, cost-effectiveness, and saving space by reducing the need for multiple specialized printers.

How They Differentiate

Lynxter differentiates itself through its multi-material capabilities, particularly with silicones and ceramics, and its modular, open platform. This allows for greater flexibility and adaptability compared to competitors who may focus on a narrower range of materials or closed systems.

Recent coverage of Lynxter

Why this company matters

Lynxter occupies a niche in the industrial polymer AM market by offering a single, modular platform that prints thermoplastics, silicones, and ceramics. Its interchangeable tool-head architecture allows users to switch between material extrusion (MEX) and vat photopolymerization (VPP) processes on the same machine, reducing the need for multiple specialized printers. This flexibility is rare in the FDM/FFF segment, where most competitors lock into a narrower material range or closed ecosystems.

The core product line includes the S300X and S600D systems, which support IDEX configurations and an open materials ecosystem. Lynxter also partners with 3Deus Dynamics to integrate Dynamic Molding technology for silicone printing, expanding the utility of its platform for soft-touch and medical-grade parts. The company's technology is particularly suited for R&D departments and industrial manufacturers that require iterative testing across material classes without investing in separate hardware.

Lynxter serves aerospace, automotive, medical device, and industrial manufacturing end markets. Named customer Michelin Group uses the platform for prototyping and production tooling. The company has also established partnerships with Airbus, Total, Schneider Electric, and Renault, indicating traction within European industrial supply chains. Its open platform strategy contrasts with closed systems from competitors such as 3DGence, Hyrel 3D, and AON3D, which may limit material choice or require proprietary consumables.

The company raised €5.5 million in total funding, including a €4 million Series A in 2023 from investors including NACO and UI Investissement, to accelerate international expansion. A key open question is whether Lynxter can scale its modular approach beyond the R&D and low-volume production use cases that dominate its current customer base, especially as larger AM OEMs push into multi-material capabilities with more automated workflows.
