Technology & Products
Key Products
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) - plastic rapid prototyping and end-use parts; Selective Laser Melting (SLM) - metal parts production; Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) - precision metal components; Polyjet 3D printing - high-detail plastic parts; Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) - functional plastic prototypes; Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) - production-grade plastic parts; Stereolithography (SLA) - precision plastic components; CNC Milling (3-axis and 5-axis) - hybrid subtractive/additive production; Optical component machining - specialized light-manipulation parts; Chemical smoothing and post-processing - surface finishing and assembly; 3D scanning and design services - CAD-to-part support
Technological Advantage
Vertically integrated service model (design → production → finishing) eliminates handoffs that extend timelines in traditional AM services. Claimed advantage: delivery of complex automotive components (e.g., headlights) in days vs. weeks via traditional tooling. SLS expertise applied to automotive lighting (high-precision optical properties). Investment in Nikon SLM Solutions NXG 600E (high-precision metal AM) signals commitment to aerospace/defense precision requirements. Chemical smoothing capability (in-house) typically outsourced by competitors, reducing quality variability and cost.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Czech Republic's only ISO-certified additive manufacturer for plastics and metal parts; integrated AM + post-processing reduces part lead times from weeks to days (automotive headlamps: days vs. traditional weeks), enables complex geometries impossible via traditional manufacturing, and provides supply chain redundancy across CEE region (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Poland, Austria, Croatia).
How They Differentiate
ONLY ISO-certified AM manufacturer in Czech Republic for both plastics AND metal (as of July 2025); integrated design-to-finish service eliminates external post-processing delays; regional supply chain presence across 6 countries (automotive OEMs benefit from nearshoring vs. overseas AM services); CTO described as 'capacity in the field' (implies specialized expertise); investment in latest Nikon SLM tech vs. older competitor systems.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
