Industries We Serve

Aerospace & Defense

Aerospace and aviation manufacturers have embraced additive manufacturing and are capitalizing on the benefits of producing highly-complex, low volume components to reduce costs. The innovation of this sector has demonstrated the ability to design intricate parts for improved functionality, rather than for manufacturability making additive manufacturing a critical must-have technology for their industry.

Automotive

High-performance racing cars to series production vehicles, the benefits of design freedom and maximized functionality are increasing the demand for metal 3D printing in the automotive industry. Selective laser melting creates new possibilities in performance enhancements for engine and transmission components to chassis parts and tire mold segments. Metal additive manufacturing lowers costs for OEM's and Tier suppliers by eliminating the need for tooling and reducing development and set-up time.

Energy

Producing metal parts for the energy sector with selective laser melting generates new opportunities to produce previously impossible geometries including internal cooling channels and undercuts, for example. Metal 3D printing allows engineers to design energy parts for maximum performance, rather than around machining capabilities. The paradigm shift in this industry continues as the idea that “complexity comes for free” expands as more energy companies incorporate additive manufacturing designs into their production.

Healthcare

Medical device manufacturers are increasingly adopting Selective Laser Melting technology to produce a wide range of medical and dental parts. Metal additive manufacturing is being implemented in both the production of functional prototypes and serial production of surgical implants, instruments, and equipment components, as well as mass customization, i.e. the production of patient-specific implants and prostheses on a large scale.

Tooling

Metal additive manufacturing is increasingly used in the tooling industry to produce complete tools and tooling inserts. One main benefit of selective laser melting to produce tooling is through the integration of conformal cooling channels which make it possible to shorten cycle times, minimize stress loads in the components and extend the tool's life. In addition, tools or inserts can be built with various material properties and can be targeted to surface hardness or damping properties of the core, for example.
