Technological Advantage
Modular architecture allows customers to scale from prototyping to production by adding fusion modules and material handling units. Open parameter system enables users to fine-tune laser speed, material temperature, and printing parameters for custom materials. SLS technology eliminates need for support structures, enabling complex interlocking parts and moving mechanisms to be printed in a single build. ColdMetalFusion Alliance membership enables metal AM applications using existing polymer SLS infrastructure. Achieved 1,000+ systems shipped to 50+ countries over 10 years with reported record sales in 2023.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Provides affordable, compact SLS 3D printing systems starting at $3,999 that deliver industrial-grade quality parts without support structures, enabling complex geometries and functional end-use parts at a fraction of traditional SLS system costs ($200,000+).
How They Differentiate
Modular SLS architecture with All-Material Platform (AMP) enabling both polymer and metal printing in one system; cylindrical build volume design with eight controlled heating zones; ColdMetalFusion Alliance membership for metal AM applications; open parameter system for custom material development
