Technology & Products

Key Products

adAM series metal 3D printers; adAM-BASE entry-level model; Special-purpose machines; Automation solutions; Software for control and monitoring

Technological Advantage

Proprietary high-speed laser cladding process achieves faster build speeds than traditional powder-bed fusion, with flexibility for multi-function operations (manufacturing and post-processing).

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Reduces lead times and enables on-demand production with a 5-axis system that can additively manufacture, post-process, and coat parts, offering flexibility not available in traditional powder-bed or binder-jetting systems.

How They Differentiate

3x faster build speed than traditional powder-bed systems with a 5-axis DED process that enables simultaneous manufacturing and post-processing, reducing lead times and offering greater flexibility for complex geometries.
