Multi-Material Nano Manufacturing
Introducing the next level of 3D printing: Lithographically Deposited Packed Particles (LDPP), a groundbreaking platform that builds multi-material composites with unmatched precision, performance, and production flexibility.
Capabilities
Why LDPP matters
True multi-material integration: LDPP deposits tightly packed particle layers and selectively binds them. Combine polymers, ceramics, metals, and functional fillers in precise gradients and architectures.
Material properties where you need them: Tailor stiffness, toughness, conductivity, thermal resistance, or biocompatibility locally.
Micro- to macro-scale control: Lithographic resolution governs feature definition; particle packing controls mesoscale structure. That means fine surface detail and engineered internal microstructure in the same build.
Technical Highlights
Lithography-driven patterning for micron-scale resolution.
Packed-particle feedstock supports a wide material palette and engineered particle blends.
Controlled binding chemistry for strong interparticle bonds and reliable inter-material adhesion.
Capability to create continuous material gradients and sharp interfaces on demand.
Compatible post-processing options: sintering, infiltration, curing, or surface finishing tailored to end-use requirements.
Who benefits?
Aerospace and automotive engineers seeking weight savings and multifunctional components.
Medical device developers needing implants with graded porosity and tailored biofunctionality.
Consumer electronics teams aiming for integrated thermal management and structural housing.
Our technology prints precise microscale patterns on surfaces without any dependence on gravity or atmosphere. This makes it equally viable for manufacturing on Earth and for in-space fabrication missions.
Opportunity Gap
The Gap No One Has Filled
Current 3D printing delivers high geometric complexity but is restricted to a handful of material types. Traditional manufacturing offers broad material choice but is limited by resolution and design complexity. Space manufacturing remains almost non-existent, as most techniques require gravity.
Our Multimaterial Nano Manufacturing (MNM) method breaks through all three barriers: lithography-based deposition enables nanoscale precision, proprietary particle functionalisation permits an indefinite number of materials per print, and the process is gravity-independent. MNM fills the unoccupied niche where current methods cannot reach and unlocks entirely new product categories that simply cannot be manufactured today.
