Pushing the boundaries in metal 3D printing

Additive Industries’ metal additive manufacturing (AM) solutions bring unparalleled reliability and productivity to critical applications. With industry-leading features like advanced full-field laser coverage and robust automation, our four-laser technology sets the standard.

Our advanced automation allows for up to eight sequential builds without human intervention. That’s an overall equipment effectiveness of over 90% with just a single shift – a new standard in metal 3D printing.

Additive Industries' advantages

Reliable completion with four-laser full-field coverage

Our printers’ full build plate coverage with four lasers ensures every project reaches completion, every time. The laser coverage enables customers to either use zonal or full-field approaches to laser assignment, meaning large parts can be built without stitching zones and small parts can be split effectively across a build plate.

Full automation – never interrupt your print cycle

Additive Industries’ printers feature full automation that extends to post-printing processes. Build plates are exchanged and levelled automatically, preparing for subsequent jobs, thus facilitating an uninterrupted, continuous print cycle. This substantially raises productivity and efficiency, while ensuring consistent quality.

Automated laser calibration – a leap in precision and efficiency

As the only system manufacturer to fully automate tests for all four lasers, we ensure perfect calibration of focus, stability, beam position, power, spot size, beam shape and laser-to-laser position. Our user-operated calibration guarantees unparalleled quality in printed parts, and significant time savings compared to manual methods used by competitors.

Build beyond boundaries

Tailored for the most ambitious work, our
printers accommodate the complexity and size requirements of components essential to advanced applications such as rockets and satellites.

Safety at every step

From powder filling to de-powdering, features like automatic lid closures and powder extraction operate under inert conditions, exceeding HSE fire and user protection standards, while safeguarding operators from exposure risks.

Effortless, remote updates for a cutting-edge advantage

Easily update your systems with the latest advancements and technological enhancements, ensuring you stay at the forefront of the competitive landscape.
