What is Part printing ?

Directed Energy Deposition is used to print high-performance metal parts directly from digital designs.

Ideal for medium to large components with simple to moderate complexity, it offers excellent material flexibility and design freedom. Commonly used in aerospace, automotive, and energy sectors, DED enables the creation of functional parts with complex geometries. The following case studies highlight its real-world benefits in improving reliability, faster production and driving innovation.
