Technology & Products
Key Products
Metal 3D Printing Services (WAAM/SLM); CNC Machining & Toolmaking; 3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering; Post-Processing & Finishing
Technological Advantage
CLAIMED: Largest metal AM contract manufacturer in Northern Germany with high-speed WAAM capabilities. VERIFIED: Operates Gefertec arc605 (3DMP) and ATOS scanning systems; validated through Deutsche Bahn feasibility studies and VIBA/Honda project collaboration. DEFENSIBLE: Process integration know-how and long-standing B2B relationships.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces lead times and inventory costs for large, complex metal components and obsolete spare parts by combining high-deposition WAAM printing with precision CNC post-processing, enabling on-demand production for industrial clients.
How They Differentiate
Focuses on large-format, high-deposition-rate WAAM for bulky components rather than fine-detail LPBF, offering faster production speeds for large parts while leveraging in-house CNC machining for tight-tolerance finishing.
