Additive manufacturing for the Mechanics and Machinery industry
Absolute precision, flawless mechanical characteristics, reliability and process repeatability are key features in mechanical engineering. And all this can be achieved by making parts using additive manufacturing, with the advantage that the final shape of the parts can also be improved to increase their performance.
To explore the innovative world of additive manufacturing, we support you during the design phase, assessing together with you the most suitable tools for your goal and recommending the most suitable technology and materials.
Prima Additive for mechanical engineering and machinery
Find out what we do for the mechanical engineering and machinery sector
In mechanical engineering and industrial machinery, achieving absolute precision, exceptional mechanical properties, and consistent process repeatability is essential. Metal additive manufacturing (AM) has transformed this landscape, enabling the creation of parts that meet these demands while enhancing performance through optimized designs.
Prima Additive is dedicated to guiding you through the innovative possibilities of metal AM. Our solutions help you harness the potential of this technology, offering tailored support in the design phase to select the most effective tools, technologies, and materials for your goals.
Metal additive manufacturing is a powerful enabler in mechanical engineering and industrial machinery, allowing manufacturers to work with metal alloys featuring optimal mechanical properties while optimizing and redesigning parts for functional excellence.
At Prima Industrie Group, we integrate additive manufacturing into our own production processes to enhance the performance of our machinery. For instance, our laser head for Direct Energy Deposition is manufactured using Powder Bed Fusion technology, resulting in improved performance, reduced component count, and eliminating the need for part storage. Our Prima Power division also utilizes additive manufacturing for components in its laser machines, contributing to increased efficiency of the sheet metal laser cutting machines.
By adopting Prima Additive’s advanced AM solutions, companies in the mechanical engineering and machinery sectors can push the limits of innovation, enhance competitiveness, and redefine manufacturing standards.
