Custom Materials

Our open binder jetting platform allows printing in any powder-based material, including for example biopolymers, nylon, and more.

We support your materials

The potential of our fully open additive manufacturing platform does not end with the existing material options. We invite material scientists to experiment with our hardware and software to create novel 3D printing materials. If you have a powder-based source, we will most likely be able to turn it into a printable material. Below, you find several examples of custom material options.
