Commercial Considerations
Reduce Turn-Around Time
Reduce prototype and part lead times from months to weeks, especially compared to castings/forgings
Reduce Material Waste
Use less material compared to subtractive processes
Reduce Inventory Costs
Print on demand and eliminate supply chain bottlenecks
Expand Design Freedom
Reduce weight and mix multiple materials
Part Consolidation
Drive down the number of parts to assemble
Produce Functional Prototypes
Quickly test actual use in real environments
Reduce Operations
Fewer operations, fewer handoffs
Physical Considerations
Materials
We can print a variety of industrial metals including combinations of materials: steels, stainless steels, Invar®, nickel alloys, and bronze.
Size
Open new possibilities: Large format metal additive parts are measured in feet or meters, not inches.
Complexity
Tackle part geometries and features that are challenging or not possible with traditional casting or machining.
Your Complete Finished Part Provider
Save time, reduce direct and indirect costs and operate with greater efficiency compared to traditional manufacturing operations.
