Technology & Products
Key Products
Metal Additive Manufacturing (3D Metal Printing) of high-precision custom metal components for aerospace and defense applications. Specializes in using SLM 3D printed titanium.
Technological Advantage
Integrated into the Iberian/European aerospace supply chain as a member of AED Cluster Portugal.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Provides high-precision custom metal components by combining additive manufacturing with traditional machining, reducing complexity for aerospace supply chain integration.
How They Differentiate
Achieves up to 20x productivity gains over single-laser systems and significantly higher throughput than quad-laser systems (e.g., EOS M400-4 used by Beam IT) by utilizing the 12-laser Nikon SLM NXG XII 600 for large-format (600mm³) aerospace parts.
