Machine-order to set up and running on our floor was 10 working days. This machine combination gives us added capacity to run hard to machine alloys like Inconel. It allows us to be more efficient running the highly complex geometries that our customers rely on us to provide.
Our customers already rely on us to provide highly complex hybrid manufactured components built additively and precision final machined. This new capacity allows us to maintain our excellent track record of on time delivery and quality as we continue to grow.
