The Latest Updates From Lothric Labs.

The image above showcases a range of mechanical components traditionally made from POM (Acetal)—a go-to material for precision gears, bushings, and sliding elements. But as manufacturing evolves, so do the materials behind it. Enter UltiMaker Nylon CF Slide, a carbon fiber-reinforced Nylon 6/12 composite engineered to outperform POM in friction-heavy, high-temperature environments.

Jonathan DiMattei built Lothric Labs’ defense presence through fearless networking and deep 3D printing expertise. The real barrier for small manufacturers isn’t capability—it’s compliance. With SCIF access expanding and additive manufacturing accelerating, smaller firms can finally compete. Thanks to Dave Graff and the RADICL team for helping share these insights.

Lothric Labs has adopted the Ultimaker Factor 4 ecosystem, a UL Listed 3D printer approved by the US Army. With unmatched construction quality—every moving part replaceable—and access to Ultimaker’s expansive Material Marketplace, Factor 4 ensures secure, compliant, and future-proof manufacturing. This move reinforces Lothric Labs’ commitment to protecting information, assets, and intellectual property while driving innovation.
