Dr. Cora Leibig
Founder & CEO
Chromatic 3D Materials

Dr. Cora Leibig is the Founder and CEO of Chromatic 3D Materials, a Minneapolis-based, manufacturing technology company combining industrial chemistry and 3D printing to make manufacturing more flexible, cost-effective, and sustainable.

Cora recognized an opportunity in the 3D printing industry to make more robust parts from materials that industrial designers know and trust. She understood the promise of 3D
printing, its potential to transform supply chains, and the industrial design possibilities — if only the right materials could be printed.

Drawing on her education from MIT and more than 20 years of industry experience, Cora founded Chromatic 3D Materials in 2017 and invented RX-AMTM, a novel materials and
technology platform based on reactive extrusion additive manufacturing. It allows manufacturers to 3D print industrial-strength elastomeric parts anytime, anywhere using a cost-effective printing platform.

To date, Cora has raised $15 million in venture capital investments and government grants. Today, Chromatic has 25 employees at facilities in Minnesota (USA) and Selfkant (Germany). The company serves more than 50 customers and development partners across a range of industries in the US and abroad. Chromatic’s products can be found in hearing aids, agricultural equipment, rail, and consumer products.
