Technology & Products
Key Products
Techinit #1 PLA+; Techinit #2 (PA6/PA6.6/PA12 blend with glass microcharge); Techinit #4 (PEC - ethylene-carbonyl copolymer); Techinit #5 (proprietary copolymer)
Technological Advantage
CLAIMED: Proprietary blends (e.g., Techinit #4 PEC) offer unique mechanical properties not available in standard 3D printing filaments. VERIFIED: Materials developed from internal R&D for high-tech piping applications, with patents mentioned (specific numbers not found). Advantage is DEFENSIBLE if patented, but replicable by competitors with similar R&D.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces prototyping and production costs by enabling in-house printing of high-performance parts with materials offering superior mechanical properties (e.g., high impact resistance, low warping) compared to standard filaments, cutting lead times and material waste.
How They Differentiate
Focuses on niche, high-performance technical filaments (e.g., PEC copolymer, glass-filled polyamides) rather than broad material portfolios; offers materials with claimed superior interlayer adhesion and impact resistance vs. standard PLA/ABS from competitors like ColorFabb.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Industrial manufacturers, engineering firms, and prototyping labs requiring high-strength, dimensionally stable 3D printing materials for functional parts.
Industry Verticals
Oil & Gas; Medical; Eyewear/Fashion; General Industrial
Competitors
ColorFabb; Polymaker; BASF Forward AM
Growth & Milestones
Growth Metrics
Techinit is a young and vibrant company founded in 2016 from a spin-off of a project originally born in Tecnogas, active in high technology plastic materials extrusion. It has 5 companies based in 3 countries around the world and operating in 56 countries. The company collaborates with research centers and universities for material development and innovation.
Major Milestones
Founded in 2016 as spin-off from Tecnogas; Registered as innovative startup in Italy (2016); Developed proprietary filament blends for internal use and commercial sale
