Technology & Products
Key Products
NexD1 3D printer
Technological Advantage
Proprietary dynamic jetting technology adapted from industrial polyjet, enabling multi-material and electronics printing at desktop scale; smart cartridge system allows fast material swapping without cleaning. Advantage is technological (process innovation) but replicability unknown without patent verification.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces prototyping costs by offering industrial-grade multi-material and electronics printing in a desktop form factor at 45% off retail price ($2,976 Kickstarter pledge), eliminating separate PCB fabrication steps and enabling rapid iteration of functional prototypes.
How They Differentiate
NexD1 offers integrated electronics printing alongside multi-materials at $2,976 (Kickstarter price) vs Stratasys PolyJet industrial systems costing $50K+; 6-material simultaneous printing vs typical 2-3 materials in desktop multi-material printers; specifically targets 3D circuit boards while competitors focus on general multi-material or separate electronics modules.
