About Supernova
Supernova makes photopolymer materials and a production platform for factories that produce plastic parts. The materials include rigids, comparable to PA6-GF20, POM and ABS-CF7, and elastomers, comparable to EPDM, NBR, TPV and TPU. The Pulse platform builds on Viscous Lithography Manufacturing (VLM) technology. It includes Pulse One, a postprocessing cell and a control center. Supernova lists transportation, consumer goods, connectors and manufacturing services as its industries. A Defense & Space division uses 3D printing to process energetic materials.
Supernova is headquartered in Austin, Texas, and has a second site in Sant Adrià de Besòs, Barcelona, Spain. The platform lists XY resolution of 46 μm, surface roughness of Ra = 3 µm and process capability above CpK 1.0. The Defense & Space unit works with APCP and RDX for solid rocket motors, explosives and bullet grains. It was awarded a $2 million contract to 3D print military-grade energetic materials. Roger Francisco is the company's president and a director. Marta Martinez is also a director.

Why Investors Backed Supernova
Supernova Industries sells photopolymer materials and an automated production platform to factories. Its case is that parts from the platform can have molded plastic properties and arrive at production scale. A Defense & Space division applies 3D printing to energetic materials for companies in defense and space.
The problem it targets
Supernova's view is that western countries lost control of their supply chains to lower-cost countries because competitive alternatives were missing. It wants to help bring production back onshore while cutting the environmental footprint of manufacturing. In defense and space, it sees conventional manufacturing as limiting the design and geometry of parts.
What the product does
Pulse is an automated end-to-end production platform. Its listed specs include accuracy up to IT12 and throughput of 5 kg an hour on Pulse One. Postprocessing runs 24 builds a day. A dual-material process makes two-component parts, and a secondary support material is meant to leave surfaces free of support marks. The platform adds in-line quality checks and batch-by-batch traceability. Supernova's case is that the dual-material process removes overmolding tooling and lowers cost per part.
Progress so far
Supernova unveiled its Viscogels materials and the Pulse Production Platform, then released new Viscogel materials for transportation-grade applications. A blog post from Austin dated July 25, 2024, described the next step as industrializing VLM into a final product. According to Mobility Engineering & Technology, the Defense & Space unit launched in August 2024. In January 2025, Defense & Munitions reported that the American Center for Manufacturing & Innovation awarded the company a $2 million subcontract.
