Company Summary

Trio-Labs is opening new frontiers in medical device micro manufacturing with a proprietary, digital manufacturing technology called Resin Infused Powder Lithography (RIPL). Micro metal manufacturing has hit a wall since current technologies can't produce the smaller, innovative designs medical device (and other) manufacturers need. RIPL enables new applications that solve significant needs with extremely precise, fast, high volume production.
