Technology & Products
Key Products
Space-qualified 3D-printed electronic assemblies; Hyperspectral imaging systems; Metasurface-based spectral filters; Thermoelectric devices; Molecular diagnostics / lateral flow test strips
Technological Advantage
Nanohmics' proprietary approach integrates 3D printing with photonic curing and radiation-tolerant polymer formulations, validated through NASA SBIR/STTR awards (e.g., SPEAD program). The company holds multiple patents covering light field relay, metasurface spectro-polarimeters, and analyte detection, creating a defensible IP position. While the core AM process is replicable, the combination of materials expertise, government contracts, and space qualification data provides a significant barrier to entry for competitors.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces cost and lead time for space-qualified electronics by replacing traditional PCB manufacturing with 3D printing and photonic curing, enabling on-demand, radiation-tolerant circuit boards with reduced weight and assembly complexity.
How They Differentiate
Focuses on space-qualified, radiation-tolerant 3D-printed electronics and integrated photonic curing, whereas Nano Dimension targets commercial PCB prototyping and Optomec specializes in aerosol jet printing for conformal electronics. Nanohmics differentiates via mission-critical aerospace/defense applications and government R&D partnerships.
