UNIFORMITY LABS is an additive manufacturing (AM) parts, printing, and metal feedstock producer that has pioneered revolutionary refining and printing processes that significantly enhance the 3D printing value proposition. Our feedstock materials and print processes have a dramatic impact on the AM value chain by increasing the speed, quality, reliability, and efficiency of printing, and by improving printing economics.
Uniformity provides metal materials and proprietary alloys for powder bed fusion, jetting and other platforms. Uniformity powders spontaneously attain high relative densities, approaching that of the densest crystalline particle packings, while retaining their ability to flow. Uniformity powders exhibit:
• Negligible phase separation and maintain low viscosity / high fluidity
• 1000X+ more contact points between particles
• Porosity that is reduced to 15% to 30% (compared to 40% - 50% for typical powders)
• Negligible phase separation and maintain low viscosity / high fluidity
• 1000X+ more contact points between particles
• Porosity that is reduced to 15% to 30% (compared to 40% - 50% for typical powders)

Powder Bed Fusion Benefits
• 3-10x increased printer throughput due to low porosity powder and advanced printing processes
• Reduced use of support structures → faster printing and less finishing required
• More reliable printing due to less warpage and residual stress
• Reduced material usage and waste
• No impact to powder recycling
Binder Jetting Benefits
• 50% reduction in linear shrinkage sintering to 99.5% final part density
• Increased green part strength
• Increased printer throughput due to higher use of build volume (reduced shrinkage) and improved powder spreading
• Larger, more accurate printed parts due to less warpage and shrinkage
• No impact to powder recycling
Disruptive additive manufacturing technologies
Refined feedstock and processes yield significant and measurable improvements in several key properties of the end product. Uniformity’s technology and raw materials enable printers to operate at significantly faster speeds, with increased reliability and decreased finishing. Powder can be made from any metal or non-metal material. Powder and processes outperform on all major printing platforms.
• Optimal print settings for complicated geometries and every material
• Fully realize benefits of UL feedstock
• Ease of use and adoption for broad deployment
• Digital mechanical property control

Production synergies expand the universe of applications for AM, expediting the shift from traditional manufacturing
Uniformity Labs, founded in 2014 and based in Fremont CA, develops breakthrough material and software solutions that aim to accelerate and expand global commercial / industrial 3D printing (AM) markets. Our patented technology enables significant cost savings, speed & quality improvements across all mainstream AM printers. Uniformity’s feedstock materials and print processes have a dramatic impact on the AM value chain by increasing reliability and efficiency of printing.
The global AM market is large and mostly unpenetrated, with long-term growth prospects and mass adoption potential. AM is rapidly displacing elements of conventional manufacturing that have been historically less efficient, more costly, and generated parts of comparatively lower quality limited by geometric constraints.
