Comment: Just because the approach was used to print a dress does not make the company notable. For certain other details such as an SBIR or raising investment funds do not, and should be deleted. Please read carefully WP:Notability. You need to demonstrate that this approach is notable compared to the vast number of established 3D printing methods. This has to come from independent sources.

- Comment: Close, a lot of the sources depend way too much on quotes/interviews to be 100% independent, such as [1] and [2]. I'd prefer if there were sources that did their own research rather than just interviewing the CEO, such as this one. Good job so far, just needs more quality references.

Chromatic 3D Materials is a materials and technology company known for developing a 3D printing method called Reactive Extrusion Additive Manufacturing.[1]
The company was founded in 2016 by material scientist Dr. Cora Leibig, an alumna of MIT[2] and DOW Chemical[3] who holds close to 60 patents related to material science and chemistry.[4] Today, Chromatic is based in Golden Valley, Minnesota, with European headquarters in Germany.[5]
Development (2016-2020) edit
In 2016, it was reported that Chromatic had raised $175,000 for developing high performance materials for major 3D printing platforms.[4]
The following year, Chromatic was named as a finalist in the 2017 MN Cup startup competition.[3]
In 2017, the company was awarded an SBIR I grant by the National Science Foundation. It was granted $225,000 to create "a set of reactive polyurethane precursor formulas which can be combined to form printable, flexible polyurethanes with a broad hardness range. The materials will be printed using extrusion 3D printing techniques, and customized to handle liquid, reactive feeds." Chromatic received an SBIR II grant in 2019 worth $749,999.[6]
In its first round of funding with outside investors, in 2018, Chromatic raised $3 million.[3]
Production (2021-present) edit
Chromatic has commercial partnerships in the medical and rail industries.[3] For Pro3dure Medical, Chromatic developed a water-soluble material designed for use in an audiology product.[3] It has supplied 3D-printed rail parts for the state railways in Austria[7] and Germany.[3]
In 2021, Chromatic raised more than $5 million in a funding round led by Embedded Ventures[5], which was cofounded by former SpaceX engineer Jordan Noone. Noone explained that Chromatic caught his attention because the high-performance properties required by the space industry are made possible by Chromatic's RX-AM platform, unlike existing 3D-printing technologies.[1]
In 2022, the magazine Plastics Today highlighted the company's ChromaScan software for 3D printing on non-planar surfaces.[8]
In November 2023, Dutch FashionTech designer Anouk Wipprecht used Chromatic's technology[9] to create a motion-activated LED dress.[10] The garment features Arduino-controlled lights[11] embedded inside 3D-printed material,[12] which was also printed directly onto the fabric.[13]
