The power of additive manufacturing beyond energy
The global technology leader supplying customers with training, design, manufacturing, and project execution for high performance additively manufactured parts.
Innovation in every layer
At Materials Solutions, we’re at the forefront of Additive Manufacturing (AM), completely revolutionizing how we design and produce industrial components. We utilize sophisticated Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) to develop high-performance parts, facilitate rapid prototyping, and offer on-demand spare parts. This significantly cuts down on both lead times and material waste. Our expertise also extends to advanced engineering services, including the design, simulation, and qualification of AM components. We’ve built this knowledge on over a decade of experience and millions of operating hours of AM parts within our own gas turbine fleet.

Prototyping
Material Solutions additive manufacturing accelerates the innovation cycle for industries like aerospace, power generation, oil & gas, and automotive through advanced prototyping. We enable engineers to swiftly create and rigorously evaluate new part designs, allowing for rapid iteration and refinement of concepts in record time. By quickly transforming digital models into physical prototypes, we empower faster design verification and testing, significantly shortening product development timelines and ensuring that solutions are optimized for performance and reliability before committing to full-scale production.
Production manufacturing
We offer comprehensive additive manufacturing capabilities for high-performance component production across demanding sectors such as power generation, aerospace, performance automotive, industrial, and defense. Leveraging Laser Powder Bed Fusion, we produce materials with superior strength and productivity through optimized build parameters. Our quality assurance and post-processing ensure that every manufactured part meets the standards required for critical applications, from turbomachinery components to specialized tooling.
Spare parts on demand
For sectors heavily reliant on operational continuity such as power generation, aerospace, and industrial applications, Materials Solutions additive manufacturing provides agile „spare parts on demand“ services. This capability drastically reduces lead times for critical spares, eliminates the need for extensive physical inventories, and mitigates supply chain disruptions. By leveraging digital blueprints and additive manufacturing, we can produce high-quality, certified replacement parts precisely when and where they are needed, ensuring maximal uptime and operational resilience for even legacy equipment.
Advanced additive manufacturing (AM)
Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF)
Powder bed fusion (PBF) is an advanced additive manufacturing process that uses a heat source, such as a laser or electron beam, to selectively melt and fuse powdered material layer by layer, creating a solid 3D object. This technique can produce complex geometries with high precision and is used for metal parts. PBF includes various methods like Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and Electron beam melting (EBM) utilizing different energy sources to achieve fusion. At Materials Solutions we have carefully selected LBPF machines and processes for the highest quality and productivity.
