Technology & Products
Key Products
Metal AM contract manufacturing; Precision machining; Welding and fabrication; Assembly services; Quality inspection; Post-processing (heat treating, coating)
Technological Advantage
Verified advantage: Proprietary integration of Velo3D Sapphire system (capable of printing Inconel 718, Titanium 6AL4V, Hastelloy C-22 without supports) with CNC machining enables complex geometries unachievable through subtractive methods alone. Defensible through operational expertise and customer relationships.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Offers end-to-end manufacturing from 3D printing to post-processing, reducing supply chain complexity and lead times by 50-70% for complex metal parts compared to traditional methods.
How They Differentiate
Specializes in high-value metal AM for aerospace/oil & gas vs. broader prototyping focus of Proto Labs and Xometry; offers deeper vertical integration with in-house heat treating and coating vs. Fathom's multi-process approach.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Aerospace, oil & gas, and defense OEMs requiring high-precision, complex metal components
Industry Verticals
Aerospace; Oil & Gas; Defense; Industrial Manufacturing
Competitors
Proto Labs; Xometry; Fathom Digital Manufacturing
