Technology & Products
Key Products
LEO file creation platform; SaaS dashboard for tracking and control
Technological Advantage
Proprietary LEO file system that secures 3D design IP while enabling controlled distributed manufacturing—verified through customer testimonials (e.g., Teva Medical Devices) showing reduced confidentiality risks and quality assurance.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables secure, traceable, and quality-controlled 3D printing by embedding production parameters (technologies, materials, colors, providers) into protected files, reducing IP theft and ensuring consistent part quality across distributed manufacturing networks.
How They Differentiate
Focuses exclusively on IP protection and production control for distributed AM via proprietary LEO files, whereas Materialise and 3D Systems offer broader AM software suites, and Authentise emphasizes workflow automation with less IP-centric file protection.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Manufacturers, designers, and IP owners needing secure distribution and controlled production of 3D printed parts.
Industry Verticals
