A Category Creator in Additive Manufacturing Historically, extrusion 3D printing processes like FFF and FDM have been painstakingly slow, taking hours to produce a relatively simple geometry and days to produce complex designs. Essentium’s HSE technology eliminates wasted movement with linear servo motors, 1G acceleration, and 1 m/sec movement speed, allowing manufacturers to print parts five to 15x faster than conventional FFF and FDM printers. Essentium’s HSE technology paired with its best and broadest materials offering, allows manufacturers to scale 3D printing like subtractive manufacturing and set the stage for Industry 4.0.
