FOR INNOVATORS & VISIONARIES IN MICROMANUFACTURING
EXADDON
Exaddon provides high-precision micro 3D printing solutions for cutting-edge applications.
Originally a business unit of Cytosurge AG, Exaddon became its own independent company in 2019.
We developed our unique CERES printing system as an enabling tool for researchers and scientists to conduct additive micro-manufacturing (µAM) of metals on the micrometer scale. With a global customer base, CERES is proven in fabricating microscale metal structures of great material quality, and in geometries unmatched by other technologies.
We have taken this expertise to develop unique solutions in semiconductor probe testing, namely microLED and parametric/WAT testing.
