X2F, based in Loveland, Colorado, is commercializing a new category of molding technology which leverages controlled viscosity and a patented pulse-packing approach to create high value components for a variety of industries. X2F’s process uses advanced materials previously thought impossible to mold and is able to achieve complex product geometries with improved operational efficiencies. The technology creates entirely new paradigms in product design, tooling, and material science for molded parts. Initial target applications include (1) polymer-based optics with improved properties (2) overmolding of delicate electronics and circuitry, and (3) highly filled engineering resins. The company has produced nearly three million commercial parts for the medical, industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics sectors. The company has financial backing from Atlas Innovate with senior advisors that include the former CEOs of General Motors and Dow Chemical.
