# Breaking New Ground

### In Micro Metal Additive Manufacturing

### Achieve CNC-Level Precision

- Gold standard for micro metals
- Matches CNC surface finish & tolerances
- Ultra-high precision (5-micron resolution)

### With MIM Materials

- Standard metal injection molding powders
- Standard MIM sintering furnaces
- Access to broad portfolio of materials

### In a 3D Printing Process

- Outperforms existing 3D tech
- Scales easily to high-volume production
- Handles complexity better than MIM

### How It Works

## Resin Infused Powder Lithography (RIPL)

### Additive manufacturing with the precision of CNC

### Fabricate green parts

- Standard MIM metal powder
- Blend with photopolymer resin
- UV cure one layer at a time

### Remove excess material

- Excess material supports the build process
- No spiderweb support structures
- Washes away easily

### Sinter green parts

- Standard MIM sintering furnace
- Polymer binder burns away
- Metal fuses, dense part remains

### Net-shape part is ready

- 99% dense
- Tolerances as tight as 0.0006" (0.015mm)
- CNC-quality surface finish

### Borrowing the best of MIM.

### Materials, metallurgy, qualifications are similar to MIM - low barrier to proving quality.

### Not 3D printing as you know it.

### More scalable, greater precision, fewer defects than SLS, DMLS.

## No other metal fabrication process can match the fidelity, quality, density and design flexibility at the scale of Resin Infused Powder Lithography (RIPL)

Need to see it to believe it? We’d love to show you.

## Providing Complex Micro Metal Parts with Speed and Flexibility

### Precision Micro-Scale Parts

RIPL is the first metal 3D printing technology that can match CNC precision with Ra32 native surface finishes — eliminating the need for extra machining or polishing — and provide tolerances as tight as 0.0005”

### Flexible Design Capabilities

When prototyping a part, design flexibility is essential. Modifying a design in CNC or MIM can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. With RIPL, we only need to make changes to the computer model.

### Fast Production Times

Other micro metal manufacturing processes have lead times that can leave you waiting months. RIPL can produce prototypes and finished parts in weeks. Whether you need protos for R&D or a production run, RIPL is fast.
