Technological Advantage
40kHz ultrasonic cutting core paired with active cooling and higher transducer power versus competing ultrasonic cutters that suffer heat shutdowns
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Cordless ultrasonic cutting reduces the force, heat buildup, and interruptions makers experience when removing supports and cleaning up 3D-printed and crafted parts.
