SphereCube 3D printing technology able to process continuously-reinforced high performance composites for next gen mold-less environmentally friendly production.
The high lightness and strength of high-performance composite materials give to your products specific mechanical strengths never experienced with an Additive Manufacturing process.
Fabricate strong components with shapes impossible to achieve with any other system!
The exceptional chemical and physical properties of composite materials guarantee excellent mechanical properties together with a low weight and make them excellent substitutes for metals in applications where high specific performances are required.
Manufacturing parts with composite materials allows to reduce the weight of an object of about three times compared to the same shape fabricated with aluminum. This makes composites a viable alternative to metals for various applications.
Systems that use 3d printing technology allows the fabrication of innovative shapes that cannot be achieved by traditional production process, releasing designers from shape and complexity limitations and opening the doors to new applications.
Fully automated 3D printing process, which guarantees high repeatability, productivity and reduction of production costs of composite materials reinforced with long fibers.
Combining the pros of 3D printing and SphereCube system, the production costs of of composite parts can be reduced, erasing the need of autoclaves and molds.
Fabricate your preferred geometrical shape through new technology with SphereCube and its 3D printing system, freeing yourself from limitations imposed by the use of molds and minimizing process waste.
The strong automation of the SphereCube system and the controls associated with it, ensure high levels of repeatability of the 3D printing process via Thermal Laser Curing.
- 3D printing coupled with the freedom to play with new geometries allow to lower the weight of manufactured parts in applications such as automotive and aerospace, reducing their environmental impact.
Thermal Laser Curing is SphereCube's patented system.
Through the interaction of laser sources with the raw materials involved in the process, this system enables the production of components in composite material with continuous fiber reinforcement and thermosetting matrix.
The innovative production process is able to automatically create products using high-performance composite materials, without geometrical limitations.
SphereCube begins its adventure with the aim of solving the problems of the composites industry:
2019 - Ranked first in the eCapital Business Plan competition.
2020 - The company takes shape as a spin off of the Marche Polytechnic University (UNIVPM).
The initial idea becomes a business truth thanks to the continuous research, experimentation and innovation process guiding all the revolutionary projects.
Following the first experimentations the scientific confidence in the idea behind the project grows.
And togetehr with it, arises the awareness that 3D printing of thermosetting matrix composites will revolutionize the world of industrial production.
The fabrication of the first tangible shapes proves the true innovation behind the system and allows to push the experimentation on the production process and on the raw materials involved.
Following the experimental phase and the acuisition of full awareness of a correct functioning system, SphereCube filed its first patent related to the deposition system of high-performance composite materials.
The Thermal Laser Curing technology will revolutionize the world of composite materials industrial production.
The first prototype of the machine is under construction.
