Key Products
Microfactory
Technological Advantage
Proprietary hybrid manufacturing technology allows simultaneous multi-material/color 3D printing and milling, targeting affordability and accessibility for non-industrial settings.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Provides an all-in-one desktop system (Microfactory) enabling additive manufacturing in plastics (up to two materials/four colors) and subtractive manufacturing in woods/metals, reducing space, noise, and mess constraints for labs, offices, and outdoor use.
How They Differentiate
Microfactory offers integrated 3D printing and CNC milling in a compact, networkable desktop system with self-cleaning features, whereas competitors like FABtotum focus on hybrid manufacturing with 3D scanning but may lack the same level of enclosure and noise reduction.
