Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing is a key technology for future production processes. Additive manufacturing or 3D-metal printing provides the possibility to generate complex geometries that cannot be created by conventional methods. The technology of the layer-based structure offers the great advantage of producing lighter parts in better quality and, at the same time, at lower costs.

SMS group has decided to play a major role in
the development of additive manufacturing technology:

► We supply plant technology for the production of high-quality, high-purity metal powder for 3D-printing of metals

► We offer engineering and design of 3D-printed parts as a service. Our experts assist you in finding answers to all engineering questions from the identification and analysis of potential parts to part design, optimization of parts to process simulation.

► In collaboration with Additive Industries, a Dutch specialist for 3D-printing systems, SMS group has developed a production concept to bring additive manufacturing serial production into reality

► We implement 3D-printed parts in our machines and plants. Using the technology of Additive Manufacturing offers completely new manufacturing opportunities and it effectively contributes to significant increase in performance of the plants of SMS group’s customers.
