Technology & Products
Key Products
Laser-wire DED systems; Morphing Shield Technology; RT-MCT
Technological Advantage
Proprietary Morphing Shield Technology and RT-MCT create a portable inert environment, allowing for real-time oxidation control without a fixed build chamber, which is defensible through its unique process implementation.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces capital expenditure by eliminating inert chambers and enables the production of unlimited-scale metal parts with high oxidation resistance and minimal downtime.
How They Differentiate
Enables chamber-free metal AM with 60-second downtime and real-time oxidation control, allowing for unlimited build volumes compared to traditional enclosed DED systems.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Industrial manufacturing sectors requiring large-scale, oxidation-free metal builds.
Industry Verticals
Aerospace; Industrial Manufacturing
Competitors
Meltio; InssTek; Lincoln Electric
