Technology & Products

Key Products

Magnum Venus Products (MVP) manufactures fluid movement and production solutions for industrial applications in composites and adhesives. Their product portfolio includes adhesive systems, applicators and spray guns, barrier coat systems, cartridge filling systems, chopper/wet-out systems, closed molding accessories, gelcoat equipment, and additive manufacturing equipment (RAM systems).

Technological Advantage

Patented Fluid Impingement Technology (FIT) reduces emissions by 90% compared to conventional spray-up methods; RAM system achieves 99.5% material utilization vs. 70-80% in traditional composite manufacturing.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Reduces production costs for large composite parts by 30-50% compared to traditional molding methods, cuts lead times from months to days, and enables on-demand manufacturing of custom-sized components with minimal tooling.

How They Differentiate

RAM system offers 3x larger build volume (4x8 ft) than Continuous Composites' CF3D, at 40% lower cost-per-part for thermoset composites; proprietary fluid handling technology provides superior material control vs. Arevo's FDM approach.
