Technology & Products
Key Products
Large-volume metal PBF systems; Laser cutting machines; Hydraulic press brakes; Shears; Robotized bending cells; Automatic sheet metal transforming systems
Technological Advantage
Proprietary large-volume PBF process for manufacturing big-sized metal components (verified by VoxelMatters and Portugal Business On the Way); technology protected by patents (specific numbers not found); leverages decades of metal forming machinery experience to integrate AM with traditional sheet metal solutions.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces lead times and enables on-demand production of large metal parts (e.g., aerospace structural components) through proprietary large-volume PBF technology, cutting traditional manufacturing time from months to weeks.
How They Differentiate
Focuses on large-volume metal PBF systems for big-sized components (e.g., aerospace structures) vs. competitors' standard build volumes; leverages 60+ years of metal forming expertise to offer integrated AM and traditional sheet metal solutions; proprietary technology for large-part AM (patented L-PBF process).
