Chromatic 3D Materials was founded in 2016 by Cora Leibig, PhD. A veteran of the materials industry, Leibig realized that many materials crucial to medicine, defense, industrial equipment, and vehicles were not yet viable for 3D printing. With that in mind, she built a company to deliver the materials, software, and printers required to 3D print durable, functional and flexible elastomers. The Chromatic team has also been active in developing accounts in the rail and industrial-equipment sectors in Germany. Chromatic was awarded Phase I and II SBIR grants from the National Science Foundation in 2017 and 2019, respectively.
