Material Partner Program
Make your material easier to run—and easier to trust—by pairing it with Helio’s in-slicer simulation and optimization.
We characterize your material, then ship customers a simple “how to run it” workflow that improves speed and repeatability without guesswork.
What you get
- Material characterization so Helio can model and recommend the right run strategy.
- A co-marketing badge: “Powered by Helio” for your website/product pages (and packaging if you want).
- An in-box data card that tells customers how to get the best results with Helio (and where to click).
- A monthly insights report: which printers your material was used on and the performance impact Helio delivered (e.g., speed, thermal quality, consistency).
- Ongoing updates as Helio improves (new heuristics, better defaults, new workflows).
What we need from you
- A ~5 kg sample of the material you want characterized.
- Basic recommended settings (nozzle temp, bed temp, fan guidance, etc.).
- The target printer ecosystem(s) you want to support first.
Typical turnaround is a few days once we receive the sample.
How it works
Step 1
Ship sample
Send ~5 kg and your recommended baseline settings.
Step 2
We characterize
We run characterization and validate the workflow in Helio.
Step 3
Launch + update
You get “Powered by Helio” assets + a customer-facing data card; we iterate over time.
Commercial model
The program is available as a monthly or yearly subscription. Pricing depends on the scope (number of SKUs, ecosystems, and desired depth of characterization).
Contact
Share a few details about the material(s) you want to support, and we’ll follow up with next steps.
- Which material(s) / SKUs do you want to characterize first?
- Which printer ecosystem(s) should we validate on (for example, Bambu Lab)?
- Do you have baseline recommended settings + a technical data sheet we can reference?
- Can you ship a ~5 kg sample for characterization, and what’s your target timeline?
- What customer outcome are you optimizing for (speed, strength, reliability, repeatability)?
