Technology & Products
Key Products
Micro-LPBF platform for high-precision metal 3D printing, achieving 5 micron layer thickness and 0.8 Ra surface roughness.
Technological Advantage
Achieves a breakthrough 5μm layer thickness (compared to the industry standard 30-50μm) and surface roughness of Ra ≥ 0.8μm. Their 'Deeply Open' parameter architecture allows researchers to customize laser power and scanning strategies, making it a preferred platform for advanced material labs.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables the manufacturing of complex, miniaturized metal parts with sub-10μm precision and superior surface finish, significantly reducing the need for costly post-processing while allowing for support-free printing of complex geometries.
How They Differentiate
Achieves breakthrough 5μm layer thickness (compared to the industry standard of 30-50μm) and surface roughness of Ra ≥ 0.8μm. The Micro-LPBF technology allows for overhangs down to 10 degrees without supports and features a 500C pre-heated chamber and a 20-micron laser spot diameter. The company is a spinoff from the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT), leveraging deep proprietary knowledge in laser-material interaction.
