Technology & Products

Key Products

Custom test solutions and test-bench adaptations for combustion, electric, hydrogen and hybrid powertrains; E/E test equipment and cable harnesses; powertrain test field; assembly, diagnosis and disassembly services; additive manufacturing engineering and parts. Affiliate AM Pioneers resells industrial 3D printers, including Desktop Metal and Roboze systems.

Technical position · AMPulse analysis

Integrates test engineering, electronics, assembly services and industrial 3D printing within one group (BRIGHT Testing, BT Electronics, BT Services, AM Pioneers). This lets the group design for AM and produce high-variety, low-volume test tooling without tooling costs.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Develops and delivers custom electro-mechanical test solutions and adaptations that integrate new series components and prototypes into existing test benches. In-house additive manufacturing enables fast, low-volume, high-variant production and on-demand repair of test equipment parts.

How They Differentiate

Applies additive manufacturing directly to test-equipment engineering. This allows variant-rich, repairable test adaptations and connectors to be made in small batches rather than injection-molded.

Market & Competition

Target Customers

Automotive OEMs and suppliers, plus aerospace, rail, and agricultural/construction machinery manufacturers that need test benches, test adaptations and E/E test equipment.

Industry Verticals

Automotive; Aerospace; Rail; Agricultural and construction machinery; Hydrogen technology
