Exponentially Improving Additive Manufacturing Materials

Together, We Can Change The World.
Starting With Our ESD Masterbatches

3d resin printed with ESD

Delivering Electrostatic Dissipative Properties

Mechnano’s proprietary  discrete, dispersed, and functionalized Carbon Nanotube technology, D’Func, delivers static dissipative properties to 3D printed parts without compromising mechanical performance. Add the power of D’Func to your additive materials with our Masterbatches, now available for purchase! See current formulas available here.

  • Perfect for tough, flexible, and elastomeric SLA, DLP, or jettable 3D printing resins
  • 103-1010 Ω/sq resistivity
  • Isotropic ESD performance
  • No carbon trails
  • No need for continuous resin mixing

(ESD now. EMI, conductivity and rad hard coming soon.)

Bringing profound potential to AM in the ESD market.

Additive Materials Developed for ESD

D’Func allows fabrication of Nano-Uniform ESD parts, including:

  • High resolution, smooth-surface, fine-featured parts including nozzles, grippers, carriers, and tooling using existing vat photopolymerization processes (e.g., SLA, DLP, LCD, etc.), and
  • Large parts including fuel systems, aluminum jig & fixture replacements, and other tooling, using existing laser sintering and pellet extrusion additive manufacturing processes

All while improving mechanical performance and delivering industry-leading static-dissipation.

All possible because of D’Func and Carbon Nanotubes

Carbon Nanotubes ENABLE the Power of D’Func

1991: Carbon Nanotubes Discovered

100 times stronger than steel, 1,000 times higher current capacity compared to copper, and 10,000 times smaller than human hair. Unfortunately, their tendency to clump together, prevented achieving carbon nanotube’s technology full potential.

Eureka!

After more than a decade of R&D, Mechnano can process CNTs into D'Func - discrete, functionalized, and dispersed CNTs, which improve mechanical, electrical, thermal and other properties.
