Technology & Products
Key Products
1L; 2L; 1M; 2M
Technological Advantage
High precision achieved through play-free steel hinges and infrared heating for high-performance polymers like PEEK; MIM granulate method enables low-cost metal printing.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Offers large build volumes (up to 1100mm x 1200mm) with high process reliability and low maintenance using a unique open Delta platform.
How They Differentiate
Utilizes Delta kinematics for large-scale builds, providing a simpler and more cost-effective alternative to large Cartesian FDM systems like BigRep.
