Technology & Products
Key Products
Compact additive systems; Custom-designed additive systems; Additive engines; Metal print services; ITAR-compliant data and process management
Technological Advantage
Verified advantage: 99.99% part density and deposition rates up to 6 lbs/hour for titanium and superalloys, with defensible process control software and custom system design capabilities.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces lead times for large aerospace components from months to weeks by printing near-net-shape parts with 99.99% density, eliminating extensive machining and enabling on-demand production of replacement parts.
How They Differentiate
3x larger build volume than standard DED systems (up to 35x18x18 ft enclosures) with closed-loop sensor control for higher precision, versus Sciaky's EBAM which uses electron beam and typically lower resolution.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Aerospace and defense manufacturers requiring large-scale, complex metal parts
Industry Verticals
