Tailoring the Industrial Recipe for Your Success
In Large Format Additive Manufacturing, performance is the result of the perfect synergy between material chemistry and robotic process control. While we offer an extensive portfolio of qualified polymers and metals, we understand that specific industrial applications often require custom formulations or strictly regulated manufacturing standards.
Our Material and Process Qualification service is designed to build custom solutions and establish a reliable production baseline. We qualify materials and define the exact parameters needed to ensure that once the process is deployed, it delivers consistent, high-quality results—every single time.
Four Steps from First Test to Locked Parameters
Investigation
Defining the objective. We work with you to identify the target material and supplier based on your application’s technical requirements.
Testing
Validating processability. We verify the material can be successfully processed, conducting initial print tests to define the material’s basic behavior and ensure compatibility with our robotic platforms.
Characterization
Defining the DNA of the material. Once the material is deemed “production-ready,” we perform a deep technical analysis, compiling a comprehensive datasheet on the material’s mechanical and thermal properties.
Qualification
Setting the standard for performance. The final step ensures industrial-grade repeatability. We fine-tune and lock the printing parameters to optimize printability and performance, guaranteeing the material will perform consistently across large-scale prints, ensuring the structural integrity of every part produced.
