Problem
Access to high‑temperature selective laser sintering (SLS) for advanced polymers such as PEKK, PEEK, and PAEK is limited because few machines can process these powders, restricting OEMs, researchers, and medical device makers from producing strong, biocompatible, chemically resistant parts.
Solution
Verne Advanced Manufacturing has developed the proprietary STROM SLS printer, a high‑temperature (up to 380 °C) system that can reliably fuse high‑performance thermoplastic powders. The machine combines a high‑power CO₂ or fiber laser with a 22‑liter build volume and advanced scanning strategies to produce dense, mechanically robust components. Verne offers end‑to‑end services—including 3D scanning, topology optimization, and part design—to support both custom prototypes and series production. By making the technology available to OEMs, universities, and research centres, the company expands the practical use of metal‑replacement polymers across aerospace, defense, medical, mobility, and energy sectors.
Target Audience
Primary customers are OEMs and component manufacturers in aerospace, defense, medical devices, mobility, and energy, as well as universities and research institutions developing advanced polymer applications.
