STRANGPRESSE LLC, a Hapco Inc., affiliate, based in Youngstown, Ohio, was founded in 2014. The company was formed to research, develop, and commercialize fully controllable, lightweight, thermoplastic extruders to be used primarily in additive manufacturing (AM). Extruders with throughput ranging from 7 to 53 kilos/hr., with total unit weights ranging from 25 to 61 Kilos have been developed. The company has been contracted by Lockheed Martin Space Systems to provide an advanced extruder for use in their Multi-Robotic Additive Cluster Research and Development initiative. Additionally, we are also working with major robotics systems integrators, Local Motors and numerous Universities to develop extrusion equipment that meet their AM production and research needs.

Xjet, based in the Israeli ‘Silicon Wadi’, was founded in Rehovot Science Park. The company is working at the forefront of metal 3D printing and is pioneering a nano-metal additive manufacturing technique using an inkjet process that eliminates the need for lasers and metal powder beds.

The new technology is going to be presented as Nano Particle Jetting™.

Nano Particle Jetting technology will allow companies to produce high-strength, real metal parts while offering improvements in quality, accuracy and surface smoothness when compared to current metal AM processes. The company plans to reveal its first metal AM system in Q2 2016. The Xjet team is made up of veterans of the pre-Stratasys Objet brand, including Hanan Gothait, founder and CEO, and Dror Danai, CBO, as well as veterans of many other high-tech companies.
