Viscous Lithography Manufacturing (VLM) Ecosystem
Industrial 3D Printing SystemThe VLM ecosystem is a comprehensive 3D printing solution comprising printers, materials, and software designed for scalable production. The technology utilizes a transparent film to transfer high-viscosity material to the build area, where it is cured by a UV light source. This layer-by-layer process bypasses the constraints of traditional vat photopolymerization, enabling the processing of materials like silicones, acrylates, epoxies, and heavily filled formulations.
- Ability to process materials of virtually unlimited viscosity
- Enables high solid-loading for composites and energetic materials (>88%)
- Reduces material waste compared to traditional subtractive manufacturing
- Improves safety in handling energetic components like explosives and propellants
