Technology & Products
Key Products
Advanced Manufacturing R&D; Systems Engineering; Program/Project Management; Cybersecurity & IT Services; Business Intelligence & Cloud Consulting
Technological Advantage
Proprietary low-cost coating approach for SLM parts is being developed under a NASA project; protectability unverified (no patents found). The company’s AM expertise is niche R&D rather than broad AM manufacturing.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
For government aerospace clients, Summit provides specialized AM R&D services—e.g., low-cost ALD coating for SLM parts—backed by NASA TechPort involvement, aimed at improving part durability while reducing manufacturing cost.
How They Differentiate
Unlike pure-play AM service bureaus, Summit pairs AM R&D (e.g., ALD coating of SLM parts) with broader IT, systems engineering, and cybersecurity consulting—claiming a unique hybrid position for NASA and defense clients.
