ADDMAN Engineering group, an American Industrial Partners company, has closed on its acquisition of 3rd Dimension Industrial Printing (Westfield, IN). 3rd Dimension is a provider of metal additive manufacturing and CNC engineered solutions. With this acquisition, ADDMAN adds a range of metal printing capabilities as well as traditional subtractive processes. This will be ADDMAN's second Additive Manufacturing location in addition to the headquarters and innovation center in Bonita Springs, FL.
Located near Indianapolis, IN, 3rd Dimension is an industrial additive manufacturing supplier. Their capabilities span additive and subtractive processes and range from prototype to production. Founded in 2013 by Bob Markley, 3rd Dimension has printed parts for high-profile aerospace, racing and consumer goods industries. The facility is ITAR, ISO9001 and AS9100 certified and produces a range of materials to include nickel-based alloys, aluminum, high-strength steels and other materials currently in development.
"The 3rd Dimension Team and I are extremely excited to join the ADDMAN Engineering family. The combination of experiences, backing and most importantly the support of our amazing customer base makes this a once in a lifetime opportunity. We look forward to many years of providing engineered solutions that our customers have come to expect from the 3rd Dimension team," says Bob Markley, president and founder of 3rd Dimension.
"The addition of 3rd Dimension provides us with the perfect complement to our rapidly expanding AM business. The dedicated staff at 3rd Dimension brings with them years and years of experience and expertise in the area of complex metal additive manufacturing," says Mark Saberton, founder and CTO of ADDMAN Engineering.
