Technology & Products
Key Products
3D metal printing services for parts, molds, and prototypes; Direct Metal Printing (DMP) / Laser Sintering using ProX 300 and ProX 100 systems; Atomic Diffusion Additive Manufacturing (ADAM) using Metal-X systems; Small series production and critical industrial parts manufacturing; Post-processing and finishing capabilities; R&D and project support for hardware development; Technological courses, training, and innovation workshops; Collaborative use of additive manufacturing infrastructure
Technological Advantage
Business advantage is DEFENSIBLE through a strategic JV with Thyssenkrupp, providing immediate access to high-stakes maritime and defense supply chains. Technological advantage is REPLICABLE but currently differentiated by the hybrid availability of high-end DMP (ProX 300) for dense industrial parts and ADAM (Metal-X) for rapid, lower-cost metal prototyping within a single facility, supported by post-processing and R&D capabilities.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Metal Point removes barriers to advanced manufacturing by providing access to industrial-grade technologies like Direct Metal Printing (DMP) and Atomic Diffusion Additive Manufacturing (ADAM), enabling the production of complex geometries and high-performance components while shortening supply chains for the automotive, defense, and robotics sectors.
How They Differentiate
Metal Point Advanced Manufacturing differentiates itself through its unique positioning as a government-subsidized innovation center (Ministry of Economy) and its strategic partnership with the global metals concern ThyssenKrupp. Unlike purely commercial service bureaus like Indus3Design or academic labs like AMC, Metal Point focuses on removing barriers to entry for startups by providing a holistic 'One Stop Shop' from R&D to final production. On specific axes: Speed: It emphasizes 'record time' delivery for final products. Cost: It offers a lower-cost entry point through government subsidies and the use of Markforged Metal-X technology. Resolution: It provides high-precision industrial results using Direct Metal Printing (DMP) and Tritone's MoldJet technology. Material Range: It focuses on high-performance industrial alloys such as Stainless Steel 17-4 PH and Inconel 625. Build Volume: It offers a competitive build volume of up to 250x250x330 mm (ProX300) and 300x220x180 mm (Metal-X).
