Penrotek, a Telementum Global company, is a leader in substrates-integrated impact protection, built on 21 years of engineering and innovation expertise from our parent company, Tech21. We specialize in advanced 3D printing technologies that transform conventional materials into high-performance protective materials, engineered for safety, durability, and flexibility in demanding applications.
The first commercial application of FlexShock™ 3D technology is protective gloves developed for the oil & gas industry. Engineered to perform in extreme environments, these gloves withstand temperatures from -20°C to 50°C, while delivering superior impact protection, flexibility, and wearer comfort, setting a new benchmark for high-performance safety gear.
Penrotek’s advanced 3D printing platform supports a wide range of substrates and material types, enabling scalable solutions across multiple industries. Our technology is proven today and adaptable for the challenges of tomorrow.
Your Advantage, Engineered
Penrotek offers a unified platform combining materials science, design flexibility, and advanced manufacturing. Our direct-to-substrates 3D printing eliminates traditional production constraints, allowing faster development, tooling-free manufacturing, and simplified supply chains without compromising performance.
Key Benefits
A Complete, Licensed Protection Solution, From Concept to Production
Penrotek delivers a fully integrated, license-driven solution for substrates-integrated impact protection, managing every stage from concept to production to ensure performance and scalability.
We start at the concept and design phase, working closely with your team to define what to print, where to print it, and how it should perform. Penrotek’s engineers design protection zones, printed geometries, polymer distribution, and structural behavior based on real-world application requirements and constraints.
By combining mechanical, design, and polymer engineering capabilities, our engineers develop purpose-built solutions optimized for impact performance, flexibility, durability, and manufacturability, never adapted, never off-the-shelf.
Penrotek’s engineers select and validate the optimal combination of polymers and fabric materials to meet performance, comfort, and durability targets. Our platform supports unlimited fabric types and a wide range of advanced polymers, allowing precise tuning of protection behavior while ensuring long-term durability, flexibility, and wearer comfort for each specific application.
Using FlexShock™ 3D technology, Penrotek prints impact-absorbing polymers directly onto the fabric, permanently bonding protection into the textile structure. This direct-to-fabric process eliminates stitching, inserts, and traditional padding, resulting in lighter, stronger, and more consistent protection while enabling tooling-free, highly repeatable production.
Supporting Equipment & Production Setup
Penrotek provides and integrates all required supporting production equipment, including dryers and auxiliary systems, to ensure proper curing, bonding, and long-term durability of the printed structures. Our engineers design the full production setup to ensure seamless operation, stable output, and production-ready manufacturing from day one.
Penrotek delivers more than technology, we provide a licensed, end-to-end solution that enables partners to scale production with confidence. Through validated processes, controlled implementation, and ongoing technical support, we ensure consistent performance, reliable quality, and long-term scalability across production volumes.
From engineering to equipment, Penrotek eliminates complexity and risk, delivering a complete, industrial-ready impact protection solution through a single, trusted partner.
We don’t just print; we engineer your product.
