Technology & Products
Key Products
PEEK printing service (production according to drawing); PEEK Turnkey System (in-house PEEK-AM manufacturing setup); FFF/FDM and FGF (pellet-based) printing technologies
Technological Advantage
Materials science expertise (founder is a doctorate-holding materials scientist) applied specifically to PEEK, a technically demanding high-performance polymer, using both FFF/FDM and pellet-based (FGF) printing.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Delivers precisely fitting industrial components in PEEK and other high-performance plastics via 3D printing, from design through series production, with fast and flexible turnaround.
How They Differentiate
Focused specialization on PEEK/high-performance polymers rather than general-purpose 3D printing services, with founder materials-science expertise and both service-bureau and turnkey equipment offerings.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Mechanical and plant engineering firms, chemical and process industry companies, medical technology companies, and R&D departments needing high-performance polymer parts.
Industry Verticals
Mechanical and plant engineering; chemical and process industry; medical technology; research and development
Competitors
INDMATEC (German PEEK filament/FDM specialist); Orion AM (PEEK 3D printing via TRH process); Weerg (industrial 3D printing service including PEEK)
