Technology & Products
Key Products
Wave3D Pro SLA 3D printer
Technological Advantage
VERIFIED: Proprietary build tray technology reduces maintenance costs and downtime compared to traditional silicone trays; CLAIMED: Large build volume at 50-micron resolution with open material environment; DEFENSIBLE: Proprietary technology but patent status unclear
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces industrial SLA printer acquisition costs from six figures to approximately $60,000 while providing large build volume (15.5 x 8.5 x 22 inches) and 50-micron resolution for prototyping bigger products
How They Differentiate
3x larger build volume than Formlabs Form 3L (15.5×8.5×22 inches vs 13.4×7.5×19.6 inches) at similar resolution; 60-70% lower cost than 3D Systems ProJet 6000 ($60,000 vs $150,000+); open material system vs Carbon's proprietary materials
