Versatile manufacturing method spans a variety of materials—plastics, metals, and resins—designed to serve a range of industries

About Additive Manufacturing

Laser systems are key to 3D printing and direct digital manufacturing processes requiring layer by layer fusing of a powder or resin. These unique part builds offer design opportunities not available through traditional manufacturing methods and range from rapid prototyping and working models to low volume production of end-use parts. The rapid turnaround of this manufacturing method can allow faster design iteration and shorten time to market. Users can respond quickly to changing market demands or industry regulations.

This versatile manufacturing method spans a variety of materials—plastics, metals, and resins—designed to serve a range of industries, including:

Engineering
Manufacturing
Medical/Dental
Electronics
Aerospace
Chemical
Semiconductor
Jewelry/Watchmaking
