Technology & Products
Key Products
Industrial research and development services in additive manufacturing, surface engineering, reliability engineering, splicing technologies, design and rapid prototyping, and digital transformation solutions.
Technological Advantage
Proprietary knowledge in AM processes (e.g., DfAM, sintering laser melting) and surface treatments (PVD, CVD, cold spray), supported by advanced labs and equipment like 3D printers and microscopes.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces production costs and enhances product quality through applied research in AM, surface treatments, and reliability testing, enabling faster prototyping and functional validation.
How They Differentiate
Offers integrated R&D services combining AM, surface engineering, and reliability testing in one center, unlike pure AM service bureaus or academic labs, with focus on industrial applications and partnerships.
