Additive Industries presented its MetalFAB1 system at RAPID 2016, officially launching the system in the North American market.

The industrial grade performance is achieved by robust and thermally optimized equipment design, smart feedback control and calibration strategies, elimination of waiting time and automation of build plate and product handling. The modular design of the MetalFAB1 system allows for customer- and application-specific process configuration.

It has the ability to be configured for different applications and can include a furnace for integrated stress relief heat treatment.

"We already attracted a lot of interest from US based companies and are proud to announce that we will be ready to accept orders for the first systems in the worlds’ largest metal AM market now," says Daan Kersten, co-founder and CEO of Additive Industries.

"The Beta program is progressing well and the tested system performance gives us the confidence to start-up our operations for companies in demanding markets like aerospace, automotive, medical and high tech equipment in the USA. We are building a regional service organization to directly support our MetalFAB1 user," says Harry Kleijnen, Manager Process & Application Development.
