XTPL a leader in ultra-precise additive manufacturing solutions

Boston, MA — 1st of December 2025 — XTPL a leader in ultra-precise additive manufacturing solutions for next-generation microelectronics, today announced that it has officially joined NextFlex, America’s Hybrid Electronics Manufacturing Innovation Institute. As part of this collaboration, XTPL has installed one of its cutting-edge development systems at the NextFlex Technology Hub in San Jose, enabling members and non-members to explore, test, and prototype breakthrough additive manufacturing applications.

XTPL’s proprietary ultra-precise deposition technology enables printing of conductive features down to sub-micron resolution, unlocking opportunities for advanced semiconductor packaging, flexible electronics, display technologies, sensor development, and high-performance interconnects. By making this system available within the NextFlex manufacturing community, XTPL aims to accelerate innovation and support R&D programs focused on miniaturization, integration, and manufacturability.

“Joining NextFlex is an important milestone for XTPL as we expand our engagement in the U.S. innovation community,” said Dr. Filip Granek, XTPL’s CEO. “Our technology is designed to bridge the gap between lab-scale breakthroughs and industrial production. With a system now installed at the NextFlex Technology Hub, companies and research teams will be able to evaluate new architectures and develop manufacturing pathways that were previously out of reach.”

The Hybrid Electronics manufacturing community will gain hands-on access to XTPL’s system for prototyping, feasibility studies, and joint development activities. The collaboration is expected to accelerate the adoption of high-precision additive manufacturing for emerging hybrid electronics applications, while supporting U.S. manufacturing competitiveness.

“We are thrilled to welcome XTPL to NextFlex,” said Dr. Daniel Gamota, Executive Director of NextFlex. “Their high-resolution additive manufacturing capability fills an important gap in the hybrid electronics manufacturing toolkit and will serve as a valuable resource for our member community.”

XTPL’s installation at NextFlex is now operational, with joint project opportunities open to industry, academic, and government partners.
