Technology & Products

Key Products

High Pressure Processing (HPP) equipment, Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) systems, and hydrogen technology.

Technological Advantage

HIP technology has become established as key post-processing tool for AM reliability; eliminates porosity, improves mechanical properties, enables complex geometry parts with verified consistency; reduces component failures and non-destructive testing requirements.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

HIP post-processing eliminates porosity in AM parts, improving mechanical properties (ductility +15-40%, fatigue life +20-50%), reducing defects and failures, enabling cost-effective combined heat-treatment cycles, and ensuring reliability for extreme-condition components in aerospace, defense, energy, and medical sectors.

How They Differentiate

Only company globally offering all three high-pressure technologies (HPP, HIP, H2 compression) under one roof; 25+ years domain expertise; proprietary In-Bulk HPP for beverages; Fast Cooling HIP; compact AM-optimized equipment; Edison Award-winning innovation track record
