Technology & Products
Key Products
["Multi-material DLP additive manufacturing system","Water-soluble support material technology","Industrial-grade photopolymer resins","Automated post-processing workflow solutions","Dual-material printing platform (durable parts + soluble supports)"]
Technological Advantage
Proprietary dual photopolymerization mechanism using different wavelengths to simultaneously process two distinct polymer types—durable structural material and soft water-soluble support material. This approach addresses three critical industry barriers: automation (eliminating manual labor), productivity (streamlining file-to-part workflow), and yield (ensuring consistent quality through controlled dissolution rather than mechanical removal).
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Eliminates manual post-processing through automatic single-step water-soluble support dissolution, enabling scalable, distributed manufacturing with smooth surface finishes and reduced labor costs.
How They Differentiate
First multi-material DLP additive manufacturing solution combining durable part materials with water-soluble support structures in a single automated workflow, enabling automatic single-step post-processing through dual-wavelength photopolymerization technology that eliminates manual labor entirely
