Applying Additive Manufacturing

With the wide range of AM technologies and materials available, the applications are wide-reaching. 3D printing is delivering a cost-effective tool to companies, enabling change, innovation, lower operations costs and improved product performance

Manufacturing Aids

3D print low cost, light-weight and bespoke fit: jigs, assembly fixtures, end-of-arm tooling and inspection fixtures. Reduce lead times from weeks to days

Production Parts

Benefit from no MOQs, no set-up tooling costs and gain the option for customisation by 3D printing on demand end-use parts on short lead times
