Bringing 3D designs to life

We are one of the main players in the AM industry to offer a complete solution from software through automation to engineering and manufacturing of final applications. We have created a fully integrated AM supply chain to provide our customers with a comprehensive portfolio of hardware and software products enabling the integration of data from development, production and suppliers.

With our expanded UK headquarter in Worcester, we have more than doubled the printing machines featuring:

  • Flexible AM cell approach (M270/ M280/ M290/ M400 cells/ Renishaw)
  • Printing and post processing all under one roof
  • Gravity fed powder solution
  • Future proof flexible approach
 (room for automatic inventory movement/ robotics)
  • Capacity to host serial production, R&D and prototyping
  • Digitalised production facility including the digital process chain using Siemens NX software for AM and other software applications providing Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) solutions
