AlpZhi's IMPACT
- AlpZhi’s value proposition is design flexibility at lower cost . The design flexibility advantage is twofold –
- AlpZhi’s technology improves in three areas over the other competing technologies. It is a single step process , it requires no specialty parts , and it is an intelligent process that integrates the characteristics of the material into the design to make high quality micro-optic components.
TECHNOLOGY
AlpZhi’s fabrication process is based on an advanced stereolithography technique in which light is used to cure photosensitive polymer, thus adding material to match the required final dimensions.
AlpZhi's platform fabrication technology will enable creation of such advanced products as 3D TVs, flexible displays, compact bio-sensors, and high-efficiency solar panels
