Technology & Products
Key Products
Specializes in large-format metal Additive Manufacturing using its HexBot™, the world's first six-armed synchronized robotic WAAM system. Offers rapid prototyping, materials testing, and DNV-certified metal components for critical subsea pressure vessels and hull structures. Operates a 50,000 sq ft WAAM facility in Houston, Texas for the energy, defense, and maritime sectors.
Technological Advantage
Achieved Europe’s first DNV Approval in Principle (AiP) for WAAM-produced steel pressure vessels, proving that 3D-printed metal can meet the extreme safety standards required for human life-support in subsea environments.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables the rapid, cost-effective production of ultra-large-scale, safety-critical metal components (up to 6.2m) that meet rigorous maritime certification standards for human occupancy and high-pressure environments.
How They Differentiate
Operates the HexBot™, the world's first six-armed synchronized robotic WAAM system, and holds Europe's first DNV Approval in Principle (AiP) for human-occupancy pressure vessels.
