Technology & Products
Key Products
Nanodiamond-enhanced filaments; Carbon fiber composite filaments; Biodegradable PLA filaments; Aerospace-grade materials
Technological Advantage
Jointly-patented technology with Carbodeon delivers verified 100% increase in tensile strength and improved thermal properties; proprietary filament formulations are printer-agnostic and require no hardware upgrades.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables desktop 3D printers to produce functional parts with 100% higher tensile strength and 10x faster print speeds without nozzle wear, reducing part cost by up to 90% compared to industrial systems.
How They Differentiate
Focuses exclusively on high-performance filaments for desktop FDM printers, whereas competitors like Stratasys and 3D Systems primarily sell proprietary printer systems with locked-in materials; offers 10x faster print speeds and 100% higher tensile strength compared to standard desktop filaments.
