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