Key Products
Stalactite 102
Technological Advantage
The proprietary dual peeling system reduces mechanical stress on parts during the build process, enabling higher detail and reliability compared to standard desktop resin printers of the era. The system was designed for durability with no programmed obsolescence.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Delivers professional-grade DLP resolution (down to 50 microns) at a desktop price point, utilizing a proprietary peeling mechanism to ensure reliability and compatibility with specialized in-house resins for investment casting.
How They Differentiate
Focused on high-detail DLP technology with a proprietary peeling mechanism and in-house material optimization, contrasting against the resolution limits of FDM and the complexity of laser-based SLA systems in the 2014 market.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Prototypers, jewelers, and miniature figurine manufacturers requiring high-detail resin prints.
Industry Verticals
Jewelry; Miniatures; Prototyping
Competitors
Formlabs; Carbon
