OUR PROCESSES
As a digital manufacturer of metal AM parts and materials for prototypes, medium series and the aftermarket, our AM production plants are embedded in Industry 4.0, and backed by an intelligent global print network for maximum efficiency and prompt delivery to our customers.
OUR PRODUCTS
We adopt our operational and digital capabilities to AM to create a new level of speed and productivity, and enable customers to rethink existing ways of developing products.
New Materials for Metal Binder Jetting
Material variety is a critical success factor for the future mass adoption of Metal Binder Jetting.
As a global leader in metal powder solutions, we are working on this challenge by leveraging our combined powder know-how from PM, MIM, and AM processes. We've already introduced the materials 316L, 17-4PH (booth stainless steels) and FSLA (Free Sintering Low Alloy) that have been fully tailored to the Binder AM process.
