Save time, reduce direct and indirect costs, explore more possibilities, and operate with greater efficiency than with traditional manufacturing operations by using our large-scale 3D metal printing technology for your next large part.
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a revolutionary technology that holds promise to revolutionize manufacturing as we know it. However, the vast majority of existing technologies are limited in terms of build envelope and production rates, forcing users to forego their use altogether or compromise on size, material waste, and more.
One type of 3D metal printing, wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), also known as Gas Metal Arc Additive Manufacturing (GMAAM), has gained attention in recent years due to its ability to produce large metal components with high accuracy, efficiency, and countless other benefits.
Our proprietary, state-of-the-art WAAM technology presents a strong additive manufacturing solution for a diverse range of large-scale industrial metal components across many industries, including aerospace, architecture, automotive, defense, energy, heavy equipment, oil and gas, transportation, and more.
We are uniquely positioned in this space to bring the right experience and technologies for your project, based on your material and application requirements. Using GMAW arc welding or laser hot-wire processes, we can tap into a deep well of welding deposition, equipment, and automation knowledge to meet your needs. Every step is customized to deliver the best material, design, and end product for your specific application. Every conversation is a collaboration between our team and yours. Every outcome is designed to meet your operational needs.
Reduce prototype and part lead times from months or years to weeks or days, especially compared to castings and forgings
Reduce weight, mix multiple materials, and incorporate features and geometries that were previously difficult or impossible
Quickly test actual use in real environments
Print on demand and eliminate supply chain bottlenecks
Drive down the number of parts to assemble
Fewer operations. Fewer handoffs.
Use less material compared to subtractive processes
We can 3D print a variety of industrial metals, including combinations of materials.
Unlock new possibilities: parts produced using our large-scale 3D metal printing technology are measured in feet or meters, not mere inches.
Tackle part geometries and features that are challenging or impossible for traditional processes like casting or machining.
With large-format wire-based metal additive manufacturing, the part is manipulated while depositing material. Advanced software is critical to address complex path-planning and coordinated motion between the robot and the positioner.
Full control over each layer’s wire path allows for optimal process parameters and material deposition.
We have developed height-sensing and adaptive feedback software to maintain tight customer-specified tolerances.
Complex part printing can be achieved using advanced robots collaborating with rotating positioners and motion-control software.

New tooling is often a bottleneck in getting new manufacturing operations up and running on time, particularly as engineers often need to accommodate last-minute design changes. Additive manufacturing can eliminate the tooling bottleneck by providing design flexibility, adaptability to changes, shortened lead times, and cost savings.
Prototyping is another common bottleneck in getting new manufacturing operations up and running on time. 3D printing metal prototypes allows designers and engineers to quickly, affordably, and easily produce physical prototypes to use for testing and iterating.
Quickly and cost-effectively produce parts that are no longer being manufactured or difficult to find. This can be especially useful for equipment and machinery that is critical to a company’s operations but is no longer made or has long lead times for replacement parts.
Our large-scale 3D metal printing technology is ideal for high-mix, low-volume applications, including the production of large metal industrial parts for a wide variety of industries. It enables lighter and more efficient parts, cost savings through reduced need for expensive tooling, rapid turnaround times, and more.
Our large-scale 3D metal printing technology enables the creation of large, complex structures, such as those seen in architecture and public art, that would otherwise be very difficult, time-consuming, and expensive to manufacture. It also enables design improvements that can simplify joining and increase strength.
