OUR TECHNOLOGY
Patent-pending production technology
We have invented a novel high capacity solution-spinning technology for nanofiber manufacturing. Our technology is fundamentally faster than electrospinning.
Works with bio-based polymers
It is the fastest method to make bio-based nanofibers in a continuous line.
Solution-based spinning
Can be used with larger variety of polymers and solvents.
Unique material morphology
The material is less dense compared to other methods, which works better for some applications. Possible to increase density after.
High production speed
The speed of our prototype machine now is up to 1.5 kg/h. We aim to increase the capacity to 10 kg/h in 2022.
More
cost-effective
Due to much higher production speed and smaller electricity consumption, production costs are lower.
Material comes in rolls
The material is produced in a continuous line and material width is customizable.
Our proprietary production technology enables us to produce nanofibrous 3D structure that is the most similar to the natural extracellular matrix.
Our nanofiber materials morphology is unique compared to conventional electrospun nanofibers. More porous fiber networks and partial z-axis orientation support cell migration into deeper layers of the material.

Our technology
The use of nanofibers in the world is growing rapidly.
This is a result of some of the unique properties that nanofibers posess.
Due to their extremely small diameter nanofibers have a massive surface area to mass ratio. Many chemical and physical processes occur only on the surface of objects and not in the bulk material. Therefore nanofibers can be immensely useful in functions where the availability of surface area is important, such as energy storage, filtration, drug delivery etc.
Secondly, nanofibrous materials are highly porous which allows for high breathability filters and efficient tissue engineering scaffolds.
Lastly, nanofibrous materials have very low densities which makes them extremely light.
Our Production Process
Our production method is nozzle-based, with production rates up to 21 grams per nozzle per hour. With the current semi-industrial prototype line, up to 1.5 kg of polymer can be spun per hour.
We are interested in realizing the method's full potential and, thus, our aim is to expand the range of materials which can be produced employing this new method.
Therefore, we are looking forward to working with partners and testing their materials on our machinery, thus, developing the optimal production processes to provide the most efficient contract manufacturing services.
We can produce nanofibrous materials with different surface densities and fiber diameters from various polymers for use in cultured meat, wound care, filtration, tissue engineering, etc.
