Technology & Products
Key Products
PA-300: An AI-powered Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) system for high-speed, safe, and repeatable 3D printing of magnesium and reactive alloy components. It features proprietary Solid State Laser Modules (SSLM) and AI architecture developed with NVIDIA for real-time self-healing.
Technological Advantage
Utilizes proprietary Solid State Laser Module (SSLM) technology and advanced gas-flow dynamics to prevent soot buildup and fires, combined with a strategic leadership position following the 95% takeover of Velo3D by its sister entity, Arrayed Additive.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables the industrial-scale 3D printing of magnesium—a traditionally 'unprintable' and volatile material—offering up to 33% weight reduction compared to aluminum while maintaining structural integrity and safety.
How They Differentiate
Precision Additive differentiates itself by building hardware specifically for magnesium, utilizing a 'Safety-by-Design' approach with proprietary Solid State Laser Modules (SSLM) and advanced gas-flow dynamics to eliminate soot buildup and fire risks. Their PA-300 system also integrates AI architecture developed with NVIDIA for real-time self-healing, enabling 10x faster build speeds and processing of reactive magnesium at scale.
Market & Competition
