Technology & Products
Key Products
Vacuum-based electron beam and laser systems for additive manufacturing and welding, specializing in high-precision, high-productivity processes for refractory metals and superalloys, including WiLaVAM (Wire Laser in Vacuum Additive Manufacturing), SLaVAM (Selective Laser in Vacuum Additive Manufacturing), and DAM (Diffusion Bonding Additive Manufacturing) systems.
Technological Advantage
Proprietary vacuum environment enhances material properties and reduces oxidation, enabling high build rates (e.g., WiLaVAM for medium-sized parts) and superior part quality for aerospace and automotive components; defensible via patents and deep metallurgical know-how.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces lead times and costs for complex metal components by enabling rapid beam processing in vacuum, achieving high build rates and material efficiency for refractory metals like titanium and superalloys.
How They Differentiate
3x faster build rates in vacuum compared to conventional EB welding systems, 30% lower operational costs for refractory metal parts due to reduced material waste and energy efficiency, proprietary WiLaVAM process enables medium-sized part production with high precision.
