Did we mention, MP is a high-speed continuous process with no discreet layers!

It's a secret but just a little info won't hurt...
What inspired MP 3D Printing, and is it really a
Universal Evolution of 3D Printing?
MP 3D printing is a confidential new technology designed with specific goals in mind. While the details are still under wraps, we can share a little about how it came to be…
How Did Existing 3D Printing Issues Influence the Development of MP 3D Printing?
The faults and strengths of existing 3D printing technologies formed the foundation for setting the goals that guided and evaluated the development of MP 3D printing. We did not simply want to make 3D printing better; MP 3D printing needed to be a new, universal system that allows all users to safely, effectively, quickly, and affordably explore the full potential of additive manufacturing.
MP 3D Printing Goals … Already Achieved!
Without prematurely giving away our tech, here is what we can do:
1. Universal and Open Materials
Print powders, pastes, gels, and liquids.
Work simultaneously with multiple production-grade materials—polymers (thermoform and thermoset), metals, glass, ceramics, biological materials, and reactive compounds.
Accept any particle shape. Filament, pellets, granules, or flakes can be powderized by any method, including in-system options.
Deliver multiple materials selectively, rapidly, and accurately, with minimal influence on one another.
2. Versatile Material Processing
Accommodate a wide range of in-system, general, and selective material-processing methods without sacrificing effectiveness or efficiency.
Integrate material processing and handling as a safe, fully embedded part of the print cycle, not an afterthought.
Selectively apply modifying additives (combined at print time) such as colorants, opacity agents, chemical reactants, foaming agents, particles, oxidation flux, etc.
Protect assemblies against unwanted part fusion or bonding.
3. High Resolution and Speed
Operate through a blended, continuous process that eliminates discrete layers.
Achieve high-speed, simultaneous actions with no pauses or staged delays.
Deliver exceptional accuracy in size and form across all part scales, feature sizes, and orientations.
Prevent distortion, size errors, or feature loss caused by neighboring structures (especially in inward-facing walls, small holes, and channels.)
Maintain consistent print times regardless of build-area size or part count.
4. Safe, Simplistic, and Controlled
Prevent user exposure to unprocessed materials at every stage.
Employ a fully contained, universal material-handling system that is inherently self-cleaning, clog-free, and waste-free.
Provide a clean, straightforward process—no special setup, warm-up, cooldown, or cleanup required.
Operate in any location without dust, odor, gas, or noise.
Continuously monitors and adapts to ensure precise function and results.
5. Scalability
Remove inherent limits on build size or scale.
Function in any orientation or environment (including variable atmospheres, pressures, or gravity.)
Integrate seamlessly with automated part-unloading and robotic systems.
Serve as a robotic end effector when desired.
Support experimentation, expansion, and future augmentation.
Scale economically—from affordable personal systems to educational, scientific research, medical, and industrial production platforms, even building-sized installations.
6. Freedom From Past Intellectual Property (IP)
Operate free of prior patent restrictions, enabling a clean slate for future innovation.
