F1 Team Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN

In 2017, Christoph Hansen, Technology & Innovation Director at Sauber Engineering, announced for the 1st time the Technology Partnership between Sauber Engineering AG and Additive Industries. Just 2 years later, this partnership has been strengthen & expanded again. On behalf of Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN, Sauber Engineering, have ordered its 4th multi-module, the 4-laser MetalFAB1 Productivity system. By 2020 the C39 had the total count of 143 metal 3D parts printed on our MetalFAB1 systems, what saved at least 2% of the car weight. In 2021 - 304 parts (more than doubled amount just in one year). They also confirmed use of a range of different AM engineering materials for different end purposes of the parts (safety, weight & costs reduction, etc), as well as 90% price reduction compared to conventional manufacturing of the parts: Find out more

SMS group

In November 2017, at Formnext, Additive Industries presented a new partnership with SMS-Group to jointly develop a concept for fully integrated AM production plants in the Scale4Series project. The Scale4Series concept includes a powder atomizer feeding multiple MetalFAB1 systems as well as post-processing equipment like HIP furnaces, CT scanners and 5-axis CNC machines. This is all offered in a turn-key project concept including all infrastructural works. The SMS-Group is one of the leading machine and plant builders for the metallurgical industry, with extensive design know-how and process engineering expertise in the field of vacuum melting plants.

Kaak Group (K3D)

Dutch Kaak Group, a leading food tech company specialised in integrated automated bakery systems has been a partner in Additive Industries’ AddLab initiative from 2014 onwards. In 2016, Additive Industries announced  that the Kaak Group becomes one of the first MetalFAB1 Beta customers. Already 9 months later after the delivery of the MetalFAB1 Beta system to the Kaak Group, Additive Industries has received a follow-up order for a 5-module 4-laser production series system. From 2019 onwards  all the 3D printing activities were merged in the K3D company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Kaak group.

AP Works

In December 2015, APWorks, at that time a 100 % subsidiary of the Airbus Group, ordered their first industrial 3D metal printing system, the Additive Industries MetalFAB1, and embarked the Beta Programme as launching customer. APWorks covers the entire value chain, from optimizing component design to the choice of suitable materials, from prototyping to qualified serial production. Since 2018, APWORKS became a 100 % subsidiary of Premium AEROTEC. In addition the additive manufacturing activities, APWORKS markets innovative projects and technologies from Airbus Group Innovations.
