Technology & Products
Key Products
The KRAKEN machine is the world's largest hybrid multi-material additive and subtractive manufacturing system (20m x 8m x 6m build volume). It integrates WAAM metal deposition, resin extrusion, arc spray, and milling for industrial large parts, enabling the production of very large prototypes for architecture and creative industries.
Technological Advantage
Proprietary hybrid process combining additive and subtractive manufacturing in one system, protected by EU H2020 funding and developed by a consortium of 15 partners; enables large-part production with high speed and cost efficiency.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables 40% faster production, 25% higher productivity, and 30% cost reduction for large parts compared to conventional methods, with hybrid capabilities reducing lead times and material waste.
How They Differentiate
Offers 3x larger build volume than typical industrial AM systems (20m vs. <5m), hybrid capabilities (additive + subtractive) unlike single-process competitors, and higher deposition rates (120 kg/h resin vs. <50 kg/h for similar systems).
