Technology & Products
Key Products
E-PBF contract manufacturing (Ti6Al4V); Orthopedic implant serial production; FreeFlow® proprietary titanium molded-fiber forming tooling; Defence & industrial components (valves, impellers, turbomachinery, bulky/tall/stackable Ti); DfAM and computational design; Process development/validation; Post-processing coordination (HIP, machining, finishing); Polymer SLS (EOS Formiga P110)
Technological Advantage
Colibrium Spectra L E-PBF with point melting and plate-free start (first European contract manufacturer to deploy; reduces supports/post-processing); ISO 13485 certified medical manufacturing (since 2016 per company site); high material utilization for low-volume serial runs; dedicated orthopedic expertise with implant stacking; FreeFlow® proprietary titanium molded-fiber tooling; fleet of six E-PBF systems plus SLS.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Validated, cost-efficient serial production of complex metal components with reduced lead times, minimal post-processing, and homogeneous surface quality; comprehensive DfAM consulting and process development support; ISO 9001/13485 certified operations with Swedish quality standards.
How They Differentiate
Spectra L point melting technology is differentiated in European E-PBF market; dedicated medical device (ISO 13485) certification; academic research lineage from Mid Sweden University provides technical depth; optimized build volumes for orthopedic implant stacking; comprehensive DfAM and process development services bundled with manufacturing.
