Company Summary

Spectrom is a full-color 3D printing technology. The current product is an add-on, allowing for immediate and low-cost commercialization and customer feedback. This will transition to a fully-integrated printer within one year. Sales follow a razorblade approach where hardware is sold with high-margin ink and plastic consumables - a proprietary facet covered by patents. We recently received $200k and will incorporate after the funding period.
