Technology & Products
Key Products
Gas purification systems, gloveboxes, inert gas systems, process tools for sealing devices.
Technological Advantage
VERIFIED: Patented gas purification achieves O2/H2O <1 ppm vs. industry standard 5-10 ppm, critical for reactive metals (Ti, Al). DEFENSIBLE: 3+ patents on membrane technology and enclosure designs.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces contamination risk in metal AM by maintaining O2/H2O levels <1 ppm, cutting scrap rates by up to 15% and enabling repeatable high-density parts (e.g., 99.7% density in Ti-6Al-4V) for aerospace and medical applications.
How They Differentiate
Offers largest gas purification range with 30% lower consumption vs. Nippon Gases; custom enclosures for SLM vs. Spacetek's generic gloveboxes; ISO class 2 cleanroom integration unmatched by asecos. Differentiates by influencing how their brand is perceived by their target audience.
