Industry Expertise
Metal Additive Manufacturing is being utilized more every day in medical technology as it opens doors to new designs and patient-customization never before possible with traditional manufacturing.
Our dedicated medical Titanium and Cobalt Chrome printers, along with our ISO 13485:2016 certification give you confidence in manufacturing your devices with us. Our team of engineers can quickly assess your geometry requirements and functional specifications for generating support structures and build orientation using Design for Additive Manufacturing (DFAM) methods.
Many complex parts are used in the engines and bodies of aircraft. Reducing overall operational costs is essential to be competitive in the aerospace industry.
Our Advanced Digital Manufacturing™ process can help you do just that. It starts with analyzing your requirements and functional specifications and using Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) methods to reduce the weight of components, while consolidating former complicated assemblies into fewer components. This can reduce serial production costs through materials savings and simplified assemblies, and ultimately saves the end customer money from fuel savings. The resulting design can then be manufactured using our metal additive manufacturing (AM) / 3D printing DMLS technology and post-processed with our heat treating and CNC machining capabilities.
Our AS9100 certified quality system gives you the confidence that we can manufacture parts and components to meet the stringent requirements of the aerospace market.
AM is now being explored for unlocking its potential benefits in the Industrial sector, using conformal cooling application, hybrid solutions for tooling and fixturing using both AM and CNC manufacturing on the same project.
Additive manufacturing allows us to produce tooling, fixturing and end use parts more efficiently than ever before. It starts with analyzing your requirements and specifications and using Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) methods to manufacture complex components, while consolidating former complicated assemblies into fewer components. This reduces production costs through materials savings and simplified assembly, and it ultimately saves the client money. The resulting design can then be manufactured using our metal additive manufacturing (AM) / 3D printing DMLS technology or using CNC machining capabilities, we will use the right tool for the job.
Additive Manufacturing (AM), more widely known as 3D-printing, is a technology that can benefit the defense industry by enabling the ability for rapid, delocalized and flexible manufacturing of parts that have been cost-prohibitive to produce in the past.
AM offers the opportunity to be able to disperse the supply chain and address some of the older systems in use in defense today, with the potential to increase performance, reduce cost, and deploy more advanced engineering techniques.
Advanced Digital Manufacturing®
Advanced Digital Manufacturing® (ADM®) is our proprietary set of processes by which we combine additive and subtractive manufacturing technologies to 3D-print and post-process metal devices and parts for our customers.
What starts advanced stays advanced. Digital files feed the entire manufacturing process; from planning to 3D-printing, from post-processing to polishing. Every step is meticulously engineered and tested to ensure the tightest tolerances possible.
We know Metal AM. Though 3D-printing metal is relatively new, we have invested in a talented team of Additive Manufacturing Engineers who understand how it works. Considerations need to be addressed before a part can be 3D-Printed, such as build orientation, support structure strategy, or even ways a design can be optimized to reduce weight or number of parts. We’ve developed a set of proprietary standards and specifications in both Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing, which means less time problem solving, more time in manufacturing and production.
We believe that you shouldn’t compromise your design because of manufacturing. Let us show you how we can help you bring your idea into reality.
