CITD is an additive manufacturing service bureau based in Getafe, Madrid, that focuses on producing certified flight-ready parts for aerospace and defense. The company differentiates itself from general AM service providers through its proprietary OPTAM methodology, which covers the full cycle of part definition from specification through manufacturing. With over 20 years of sector experience, CITD targets strict aerospace quality standards and offers a complete product lifecycle service from design to integration.
The company's core technologies include metal additive manufacturing and polymer processes such as material extrusion and powder bed fusion. CITD works with high-performance thermoplastics including ULTEM, PEEK, and PEKK for high-temperature polymer parts, and produces metal AM components for structural applications. The company also provides scan-to-BIM digitization services and electrical systems integration, broadening its offering beyond pure part production.
CITD serves major aircraft manufacturers, engineering firms, and has participated in European Space Agency standards projects. The company has raised €5.2 million from investors including Adara Ventures, JME Ventures, and Capza, with estimated 2024 revenue of $7 million. Key partnerships include AIDIMME Institute of Technology, TecniTop, and AON3D, the latter supplying a high-temperature industrial 3D printer for ULTEM and PEEK polymers.
The company's strategic moat lies in its aerospace-certified processes and replicable expertise with high-performance materials, though it faces competition from established AM service providers like 3D Systems, Stratasys, and EOS. CITD's ability to maintain certification and expand into adjacent verticals such as medical and railway will determine its long-term competitive position.
