Technology & Products
Key Products
Large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM) services, robotic pellet extrusion systems, complex large Glass Fiber Reinforced (GFR) maritime parts.
Technological Advantage
Proprietary expertise in robotic pellet extrusion LFAM for glass fiber reinforced composites, enabling production of highly complex, large maritime parts not feasible with traditional methods.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables production of directly 3D-printed, highly complex large Glass Fiber Reinforced (GFR) maritime parts with robotic LFAM systems, reducing lead times and tooling costs for large-scale components.
How They Differentiate
Specializes in complex, large-scale GFR maritime parts using robotic LFAM systems, reducing lead times and tooling costs for large-scale components. Competitors like Thermwood and Ingersoll focus more on hardware sales and broader LFAM applications.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Industrial manufacturers requiring large, complex polymer composite parts (e.g., maritime, defense, offshore wind)
Industry Verticals
Maritime; Defense; Offshore Wind; Industrial Manufacturing
Competitors
Thermwood, Ingersoll
Growth & Milestones
Growth Metrics
Revenue grew 300% in 2021; 200+ large-format parts produced annually; 5x growth in maritime sector projects from 2020-2022
Major Milestones
LFAM brand/service of MSA Manufacturing; complex GFR maritime part via CEAD + Adaxis + Ai Build (JEC 2024 / TCT 3Sixty 2024). MSA Manufacturing ceased trading 2024; wound up 17 Oct 2024 (voluntary liquidation). Max Osmond joined Norco for AM/CNC (Jan 2025).
