Technology & Products
Key Products
Production of complex, high-performance metal components with geometries and thermal properties that traditional manufacturing cannot efficiently replicate. Provides end-to-end manufacturing solutions from design through finished parts with aerospace-grade AS9100D and EOS AMQ certifications for mission-critical applications.
Technological Advantage
Combines massive production capacity (28-35+ EOS machines including M 290, M 300-4, M 400-4 models) with deep expertise in qualifying parts to AS9100 standards, enabling competition in the demanding aerospace sector. Holds 7 AM technology patents and has developed efficient production workflows over 9+ years, achieving the transition from 80% R&D work to production-focused operations. Strategic exclusive partnership with EOS since 2012 provides access to latest DMLS technology and continuous platform improvements, while partnerships with material suppliers (Elementum 3D, 6K Additive) secure domestic supply chain for diverse metal powders including titanium, Inconel, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys.
