Lower tooling costs
The master tool is created via a low-cost process. It begins with a digital solid model design which drives a fast and low-cost lithographic process. Complex, 3D molds are then produced at a fraction of conventional tooling costs.
Rapid prototyping
Production lead times are reduced from the usual 30 weeks to only 8-12 weeks.
Lower development cost
Lower tooling costs and the rapid development process reduce overall costs by as much as 40%.
Application versatility
With TOMO’s ability to produce complex 3D shapes and its comparability with a wide range of materials (ceramics, powdered metals, polymers, cermets and other composites it can be applied to a wide range of applications.
Virtual design
TOMO supports a digital design process where the design can be created and analyzed in a digital form – and then tooled through a digital tooling process.
Repeatable, scalable manufacturing process
TOMO is based on the lithography process so tooling can be recreated anywhere and identical tooling can be used to quickly scale up manufacturing.
Foundation for new application-specific intellectual property
TOMO is a patented process technology that can be used in a wide-variety of applications. In strategic partnerships, Mikro can license the background technology and work with its partners to create valuable new IP that can be specific to the partner’s application(s), thus protecting the partners innovations and position in the market.
