Technology & Products
Key Products
Process-intelligent resins; Digital manufacturing software; Additive masking solutions for turbine blades
Technological Advantage
Verified: Patented bio-based resins (US10421828) that offer high thermal stability and predictable phase changes, enabling the digitization of traditionally manual aerospace manufacturing steps.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces lead times for turbine component production by digitizing manual masking processes, improving tolerance control and reducing labor costs in high-precision aerospace manufacturing.
How They Differentiate
Focuses specifically on 'process-intelligent' materials for the turbine manufacturing value chain (masking/tooling) rather than general-purpose end-use parts, offering higher chemical and thermal resistance tailored for aerospace processing.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Aerospace and energy OEMs manufacturing turbine engines and complex industrial components.
Industry Verticals
Aerospace; Energy; Industrial
Competitors
Carbon; 3D Systems; Henkel (Loctite AM)
