Technology & Products

Key Products

SAMM Tech - Containerized metal/plastic hybrid 3D printing and CNC milling system (ISO shipping container); SAMM Tech with Meltio Engine Blue integration - Next-generation platform announced for RAPID+TCT 2026; SAWG Atmospheric Water Generator (non-AM product); Portable HVAC environmental control units (non-AM product)

Technological Advantage

Patented containerized gantry design enables 4.5-cubic-foot build volume with laser-powered DED tolerating standard welding wire; hybrid manufacturing (additive + subtractive + FFF) eliminates need for separate machines; ruggedized design survives extreme military/industrial deployment; eliminates weeks of shipping lead time for critical replacement parts; reduces inventory holding costs by enabling on-demand production.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

On-demand part production in field environments eliminates shipping lead times and supply chain reliance; ruggedized containerized platform deploys to remote or harsh locations; hybrid metal DED + CNC + FFF enables multi-material production; material flexibility from carbon steel to titanium.

How They Differentiate

Only known containerized, fully mobile large-format metal 3D printing system with integrated CNC milling; emphasis on extreme-environment ruggedness and field deployability distinguishes from bench-top or facility-based AM systems; hybrid metal+plastic+CNC capabilities in single platform reduce equipment footprint.
