Advantages of Industrial 3D printing

Faster Prototyping & Innovation

Accelerates design iterations and testing for new equipment. Increase performance with innovative structures like honeycomb and lattice.

Lightweight & Durable Components

Use AM to reduce weight, customize equipment and enhance the performance of vehicles, drones, and other equipment.

Spare Parts & Logistics

Realize on-demand production of critical spare parts, enabling re-engineering for legacy parts, reducing reliance on complex supply chains.

Cost-Effective & Field-Ready Production

Reduce production costs and waste for low-volume, high-complexity parts. Enable field production, improving operational efficiency.

Success Story

Ascending Technologies

Weight optimization of Drones

A customizable lightweight design with integrated cable routing and a payload adapter enables significant weight reduction. The solution provides full protection of all electronic components while lowering assembly effort through an overall reduction in part count.

Design Study

EOS

Next Gen Suppressor Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing enables highly complex geometries derived from fluid dynamic simulations. This approach reduces blowback by up to 80% and delivers substantial performance gains, including optimized weight, minimized blowback, and improved noise suppression.

Success Story

Saab | AMEXCI

Part on Gripen for Battlefield Damage Repairs

For the first time, an exterior 3D-printed part was successfully flown on a Gripen. As part of an initiative for battlefield damage repairs, a replacement hatch was produced in PA 2200 using an EOS P 396 system. The component underwent extensive testing to ensure qualification and airworthiness before being cleared for flight.

SUCCESS STORY

EOS & AMEXCI are part of SQ2020 Industrial Participation

As part of Squadron 2020 Industrial Participation, AMEXCI and EOS, together with Saab, will develop new capabilities to manufacture demanding defense components in Finland with metal additive manufacturing (AM). The project focuses on developing AM solutions both for spare parts and new product development. New and enhanced competencies will contribute to improving the overall security of supply in Finland. Additive Manufacturing can enable spare part production for the Finnish Defense Forces (FDF) and critical industries, as well as the rapid deployment of new innovative equipment.
