About

Supernova is an additive manufacturing company that specializes in Viscous Lithography Manufacturing (VLM), a patented 3D printing technology designed for high-viscosity materials. Spun out from BCN3D in 2023, the company targets industrial manufacturers and the US defense and space sectors with scalable production solutions. Its technology enables the printing of advanced polymers and energetic materials, overcoming the limitations of traditional manufacturing.

The company's core differentiator is its patented VLM technology, which can process materials of virtually unlimited viscosity. This capability allows for the creation of parts with very high solid content, such as energetic materials with over 88% solid loading, which is a significant breakthrough for defense and industrial applications.

Viscous Lithography Manufacturing (VLM) Ecosystem

Industrial 3D Printing System

The 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

Built for

United States defense and space entities, along with large-scale industrial manufacturers.
