Company Performance Metrics
Skyphos specializes micro-SLA (uSLA) 3D printers and 3D services for LOAC & microfluidics. It allows researchers to print chips on demand, outside of a clean room, by-passing months of development time. The system works with all drawing platforms and is the only 3D printer in the world capable of operating between 5 and 100 um. Skyphos tech is
applicable to 81% of the world-wide market for microfluidic chips; currently totaling $8.4B.
Skyphos seamlessly integrates to the most popular drawing platforms. They can be printed on-demand for use the same day – eliminating close to 60% of the development cycle. Being 3D based, a variety of internal structures and patterns important for cell interrogation are now possible. No manual assembly or punching is required as plug-and-play manifolds are directly integrated. The 3D system does not require a clean room, and finally, material costs per volume are nearly identical.
Skyphos offers services for chip manufacturing. Our service produces chips for research or in a manufacturing runs. Material cost per volume is identical to all other processes and cycle-time is ~25% of competition like hot embossing. The basics of service are chip order quantity of 10 for $1000, shipping in less than 5 days. Manufacturing runs can be completed on a batch basis with first chips arriving the same week as initial order. We offer a no-charge design change – ever.
Skyphos offers professional 3D printers with resolutions: 5um and 100um. There are no other printers on market truly capable of resolutions below 100um. We expect labs and researchers capable of 3D printing to purchase these and install them to enable faster iterations as well as pushing the boundaries of microfluidic chip technology. The printers do not need a clean-room or other high cost settings.
