Technology & Products
Key Products
Universal photopolymer resins for SLA/DLP; Custom-formulated resins for specific applications; High-temperature resistant materials; Conductive/insulating materials
Technological Advantage
Proprietary resin formulations achieve 99.5% density and thermal stability up to 200°C, verified through university research and industrial testing; defensible via 2 filed patents on photopolymerizable compositions.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces material costs by 20-30% compared to premium resin suppliers while delivering superior thermal resistance (up to 200°C) and mechanical strength, enabling direct production of industrial components without post-processing.
How They Differentiate
30% lower cost-per-liter than Formlabs Engineering Resins ($150 vs $210) with comparable mechanical properties; broader material portfolio than 3D Systems' Accura line, including custom formulations for niche industrial applications.
