Technology & Products
Key Products
3D Printing Services; 3D Scanning; Rapid Prototyping; Product Development; Reverse Engineering; Quality Control; Low-Volume Manufacturing; Injection Moulding; Vacuum Casting; RIM
Technological Advantage
Verified advantage: Fleet of 50+ industrial 3D printers across 4 locations enables high throughput and technology flexibility. Claimed advantage: Unrivaled speed and throughput with open material platform. Defensible through partnerships and ISO 9001 certification, but technology is replicable.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces lead times and costs for prototyping and low-volume manufacturing by offering comprehensive AM services with access to multiple technologies (MJF, SLS, FDM, SLA, DLS, PolyJet, SLM, EBM, DMLS, Binder Jetting) under one roof, certified to ISO 9001 standards.
How They Differentiate
Broader multi-process portfolio (MJF, SLS, FDM, SLA, DLS, PolyJet, SLM/EBM/DMLS, binder jetting, plus CNC, vacuum casting, RIM) under one ISO 9001 roof vs pure-play polymer service bureaus; 50+ industrial printers across 4 sites in UK/Turkey; certified partner channel for Nexa3D/Ultimaker (and historically Carbon/Zortrax).
