Direct 3D printing of metals with submicron resolution is a promising additive manufacturing technique for a wide range of sectors. The FluidFM µ3Dprinter from Cytosurge is the world’s first 3D printer capable of delivering such resolution in direct metal printing, while at the same time offering scalability and excellent prospects in both production costs and speed. Cytosurge AG has a new business unit for 3D printing at ETH Zurich and is leading the way with their FluidFM µ3Dprinter. To find out more about Cytosurge and their FludiFM technology, we met with Cytosurge’s Business Developer, Edgar Hepp.
3DN: Could you tell us a little bit more about Cytosurge?
Cytosurge was founded some years ago as a high-tech spin-off company from the ETH Zurich, a university that specializes in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Our team is a passionate group of specialists with training in various disciplines such as business, engineering, biology and computer science; we have developed and commercialized the FluidFM technology. This technology enables an immense range of applications from science and biology to physics. At Cytosurge, we strive to provide tools for new possibilities and applications at the forefront of nanotechnology, particularly in medicine, life sciences and material science.
The FluidFM µ3Dprinter is a brand new development that builds on the FluidFM core technology, but ventures into a completely different application space that is namely that of printing metals on a micrometer scale.
