Room to grow.
The workspace can be adapted through cable lengths and anchor positions. A larger print volume does not require an equally long moving gantry.

01 / THE TECHNOLOGY
Less mechanics.
More possibilities.
Eight cables guide a lightweight print head through space. The drives remain at the anchor points, creating a workspace with room for new possibilities.
Less mass.
More dynamics.
The drives remain outside the moving print head. Its low mass creates potential for high accelerations.
Designed with hygiene in mind.
The concept envisages removable components, including the cables. For biomaterials, fast reprocessing in a sterilisation bath is a development goal.

02 / THE APPLICATIONS
One platform.
A broader horizon.
Our first step: 3D plastic printing. In parallel, we are developing the potential for patient-specific bone replacement.
FIRST PLANNED APPLICATION
From a digital idea
to a physical part.
The first application focus is 3D plastic printing. Prototypes, individual geometries and larger parts provide the basis for developing the platform and printing process.

Individual anatomy.
A new perspective.
In parallel with plastic printing, we plan to develop patient-specific bone replacement structures. This requires suitable biomaterials, validated processes and regulatory evidence.

Responsible development
Develop today.
Transform tomorrow.
We think beyond conventional 3D printing. Our medical vision: individual bone replacement structures based on a person's anatomy.
A research and development objective. Clinical use requires suitable materials, validated procedures and the necessary regulatory evidence.

Innovation takes many forms.
Breast pumps and UVC disinfection: technology that addresses practical needs.
OUTLOOK / DESIGN STUDY
The next form.
The principle stays.
Integrated controls, concealed cable drives and a floor-standing structure with an accessible workspace. This is how the next generation of our cable robot platform could look.
