Technology & Products

Key Products

Large-format metal 3D printing (AMS 400/800), hybrid manufacturing with integrated CNC milling, automated post-processing (depowdering/unpacking via Solukon), AI-optimized toolpathing (via Aibuild partnership), and a patented 3D-print manufacturing line (in cooperation with 3D-Mectronic).

Technological Advantage

Proprietary hybrid manufacturing integration (laser cladding + CNC milling in one system); large build volume positioning for aerospace structural components; decades of precision machine tool expertise (CNC) combined with modern AM technologies; established dealer/service network worldwide; Solukon partnership for unique post-processing automation.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

End-to-end additive manufacturing ecosystem: large-format metal 3D printing (AMS 400/800), hybrid manufacturing with integrated CNC milling, automated post-processing (depowdering/unpacking via Solukon), AI-optimized toolpathing (via Aibuild partnership). Enables one-stop automated production combining additive and subtractive operations, reducing lead times and enabling on-demand manufacturing.

How They Differentiate

Integrated hybrid systems (additive + subtractive in one machine); large-format industrial build volumes; decades of machine tool precision expertise; full AM process chain (print → measure → machine → post-process in ecosystem). Competitor differentiation: EOS/SLM lead in pure metal LPBF; DMG/Hyundai in general hybrid CNC; Reichenbacher's strength is **AM-specific hybrid for aerospace**.

Growth & Milestones

Growth Metrics

Product portfolio expansion: ~2-year intensive development cycle (2019-2021) creating comprehensive AM system lineup. Continuous partnerships (Aibuild 2024/2025, Solukon, Multec). Trade show participation (formnext annual exhibitor). Described as 'strong overall package in which every user will find a solution that suits him' - implies multi-system commercialization and market traction.

Major Milestones

~2019: Entered additive manufacturing market (strategic shift from pure CNC); May 2021: Launched comprehensive AM product portfolio (AMS 400, AMS 800, hybrid systems); ~2023-2024: Solukon post-processing integration partnership; 2024-2025: Aibuild partnership for AI-optimized hybrid manufacturing
