Onyriq is one of the 10 startups selected to join the IQS Next Tech acceleration program

Onyriq, a customer oriented R&D company in the field of polymeric materials located at the Barcelona Science Park, has been selected as one of the 10 startups to join the IQS Next Tech, the first equity-free acceleration program with an industrial focus in Spain, promoted by IQS Tech Factory, the center for entrepreneurship of IQS.

 

Onyric is developing cross linkable thermoplastic polyurethane powders for 3D printing applications, in such a way that, depending on the energy source of the printer, the stiffness of the material can vary. That will enable to obtain variable stiffness areas in a single printed product, with near 100% recyclability of the raw material and to produce thermoset products by Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), with one single material. This challenge has never been achieved.
