Our facilities include 3D printers for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) printing of commodity and high-performance thermoplastic polymers, for both mono- and multi-material parts,
and photopolymerization-based SLA and DLP printers for commercial and custom resins and oils.
We also developed a custom printer for the 3D printing of high viscosity photocurable resins and liquid elastomeric compounds.

Prusa – Viscotec custom
Custom 3D printer based on an FFF printer modified with an screw pump head capable of handling high viscosity fluids, suitable for the 3D printing of photocurable pastes and fluids. The system feeds pressurized material through a nozzle and, after the deposition of each layer, performs the polymerization via a UV-lamp.
