  • Metal Additive Capabilities

    With our combination of metal hardware, software, and materials, we offer solutions with unprecedented design flexibility, economics, and reliability that traditional manufacturing cannot match.

  • Multiple printers in a facility to illustrate production capabilities
  • Production Capability

    With our production facilities, we can be your agile manufacturing arm, helping you transition from prototype to production, while offering increased supply chain capacity and flexibility. We also offer on-demand printing services available to you 24/7.

  • semiconductor technology transfer image
  • Technology Transfer

    We help semiconductor OEMs and suppliers establish their own metal additive capabilities that reduce costs and ramp times. Through hands-on training and consultation—and the transfer of prequalified manufacturing processes to your site—our dedicated team works with you across every step, from pre-production to full-scale volume production.

The Experience and Technology to Gain a Competitive Advantage

  • Design Flexibility

    Optimally design, rapidly iterate, and manufacture components with complex features, including wafer tables with conformal cooling channels, part-consolidated end effectors, and advanced kinematic couplings and flexures for optical components. 

  • Performance and Productivity

    Produce more wafers by improving semiconductor equipment accuracy, speed, reliability, and throughput. Realize performance benefits in critical parts and subsystems, including thermal management, optimal fluid flow, lightweighting, and part consolidation.

  • High Quality and Accuracy for Clean Room Environments

    Our metal additive solutions ensure high material quality and part accuracy, producing parts in an inert atmosphere with a steady, ultra-low oxygen level — coupled with proprietary processes for optimal particle cleanliness. This results in metal parts that meet clean room requirements and are fit for use in high vacuum environments.

  • Metal AM Expertise and Capability

    Establish your own metal additive manufacturing capabilities and quickly scale to production volumes while partnering with us to develop new concepts/prototypes.

  • Scalability and Risk Reduction

    Our manufacturing facilities offer increased capacity, flexibility, and reduced inventory. We can help eliminate supply chain risks for OEMs through technology transfer by replicating our manufacturing processes and qualifying your suppliers.
