We work alongside our customers throughout their journey from machine purchase to serial production

Leveraging our expertise we help customers optimize build setups using the latest simulation software tools, fine tune process parameters and create advanced support designs, helping on their journey to make  qualified production ready, high-quality parts.

“We have found a partner in Additive Industries that not only knows what is required to employ 3D metal printing in an industrial context but also shares our passion for digital technology in order to continuously improve the service we provide to our clients.”

Polished section

We support our customers to optimise and develop AM process parameters to meet very specific application requirements

This approach can help to increase productivity to reduce part cost/increase throughput, produce thin wall structures with structural requirements or optimise process/parts for specific engineering requirements, i.e. high cycle fatigue.

 

Material dev

We can guide our customers throughout the entire journey to develop a new material

Using our customers MetalFab or our internal capabilities we can leverage our metallurgy and material development expertise to provide fully usable material parameters from first principles, ultimately supporting the integration of new material into customers production facility.
