Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is increasingly important in the manufacturing of high-value, critical parts. This process has found its way into high-volume industrial production of designs with moderately complex geometries in medical technology, aerospace, automotive industries and many others.

On every trade show floor featuring additive manufacturing, there’s a growing selection of additive processes for making production parts that stand alongside machines more commonly associated with prototyping. An essential aspect of additive’s transition from prototyping to production is data collection.

We test our products to ensure that they ship without defects. This helps reduce our scrap and warranty costs, and above all, create and deliver products that meet our customers’ needs.
