Technology & Products

Key Products

Laser Metal Deposition (LMD); Vacuum brazing; Heat treatment; Electron beam welding; Thermal spraying; Sintering of MIM parts

Technological Advantage

Proprietary expertise in integrating LMD with vacuum brazing for conformal cooling applications in mold making, optimizing cycle times and part performance; certified to Nadcap, ISO 9001:2015, and EN 9100 standards.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Reduces lead times and improves material properties through integrated AM and thermal processing, enabling complex part production with enhanced durability and performance.

How They Differentiate

Focuses on service-based AM integration with thermal processing rather than selling printers; offers hybrid solutions (e.g., vacuum brazing + laser sintering) for mold cooling, unlike pure-play AM hardware companies.

Market & Competition

Target Customers

Manufacturers in aerospace, medical technology, energy, and mechanical engineering requiring high-performance metallic assemblies and material refinement.

Industry Verticals

Aerospace; Medical Technology; Energy; Mechanical Engineering; Tool and Mold Making

Competitors

SLM Solutions; EOS; Intech Additive Solutions
