Aerospace & Defense.

• Low Volume Production – Complex geometries – low volumes – without tooling
• Weight Reduction – fuel savings – payload – less CO2 emission
• Compact – Lesser package space or reduction in size & ratio
• Efficient Production – Less material wasted due to layer wise manufacturing
• Low Volume Production – Complex geometries – low volumes – without tooling
• Increased efficiency – better thermal & fluid performance – increased stiffness & strength
• Part Consolidation – integration of multiple component & assembly time
• Maintenance & Repair or Overhaul – restored by adding material to worn-out surfaces

Automotive.

• Faster Product Development – quick test & validation – elimination of tooling
• Greater Flexibility Design – Quicker design changes due to faster PD
• Customization – Flexible unique components – Personalization possible
• Create Complex Geometries – Conformal cooling channels – Thin walls – Fine Meshes – Cold Plates for compact cooling etc.
• Compact & Efficient – Certain HX or heat sinks used in thermal management can be optimized. Efficiency can be increased or can be made compact in nature.

General Engineering.

• Faster Product Development – quick test & validation – elimination of tooling
• Greater Flexibility Design – Quicker design changes due to faster PD
• Create Complex Geometries – Conformal cooling channels – Thin walls –Fine Meshes – Cold Plates for compact cooling etc.
• On-demand production – produce physical parts from digital files in a matter of hrs. for a component on demand.
• Customization – Flexible unique components

Oil & Gas.

• Greater Flexibility Design – Quicker design changes due to faster Product Development
