Technology & Products
Key Products
Ultrasonic cleaning systems for support removal; High-pressure cleaning systems; Custom ultrasonic solutions for 3D printing; Accessories (baskets, cleaners)
Technological Advantage
Proprietary ultrasonic-pressure vortex technology delivers 60x faster support removal than manual methods (1 minute vs. 1 hour), protected by trade secrets and specialized engineering know-how developed over 10+ years in AM post-processing.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces post-processing time for support removal from hours to minutes (1-minute cycles), increasing throughput and reducing labor costs by up to 80% compared to manual methods, while maintaining part integrity.
How They Differentiate
Specializes exclusively in AM post-processing with systems achieving 1-minute support removal cycles vs. competitors' general-purpose ultrasonic cleaners requiring 15-30 minutes; offers custom solutions for FDM, PolyJet, and wax parts while competitors focus on broader industrial cleaning.
