Technology & Products
Key Products
["Formula1 (ESD Resin)","Formula2 (ESD Resin)","Tough ESD","Rigid ESD"]
Technological Advantage
Enables the production of AM parts with reliable, isotropic ESD properties and high resolution, which is difficult to achieve with filament-based or other filled materials. Their material-agnostic technology and partnerships with printer OEMs allow for broad market adoption.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Providing high-resolution, isotropic, static-dissipative 3D printing materials that protect sensitive electronics from electrostatic discharge without compromising the mechanical performance of the base polymer.
How They Differentiate
Specializes in photopolymer resins (DLP, SLA) offering high-resolution parts with isotropic ESD properties. This contrasts with competitors who often focus on FFF/FDM filaments where properties can be anisotropic and resolution is lower.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Companies in aerospace, defense, electronics, and automotive industries requiring ESD-safe and high-performance components for applications like tooling, jigs, and fixtures.
Industry Verticals
