Differentiation
Value Proposition
German-engineered gas-tight blowers and vacuum systems for industrial applications, with specialized solutions for metal additive manufacturing that ensure premium inert gas atmospheres for defect-free 3D metal printing.
How They Differentiate
As the Chinese subsidiary of Gebr. Becker GmbH (founded 1885), the company leverages over a century of German vacuum and pneumatic engineering expertise. Its key differentiation in AM is gas-tight blowers and components specifically engineered for metal 3D printing (LPBF) that ensure zero oxygen ingress and zero inert gas loss, enabling premium-quality inert gas recirculation and pneumatic powder conveying. The CycleAM system is a complete gas recirculation and filtration system purpose-built for AM machines.
