With Optomec, the promise of high-volume additive manufacturing is a reality today, transforming how companies design, build and maintain critical parts and products and enabling new manufacturing possibilities.
Since 1997, Optomec systems have produced hundreds of innovative designs and products in markets such as electronics, energy, life sciences, aerospace and defense and the Internet of Things (IoT). Because Optomec enables the production of smart, connected devices with embedded electronics that meet the stringent size, functionality and cost demands of the market, Optomec provides unique advantages to the manufacturing of products in the emerging IoT space.
With a strong track history of success and more than $30 million invested in product development, Optomec has worked with leading industrial companies and research organizations across a range of markets to deliver on the promise of 3D printing. Optomec systems are used across the product life cycle to reduce the size and cost of electronic devices, improve the efficiency of machines generating alternative energy sources, extend the life of high-value aerospace components, produce wear-resistant medical devices, and make industrial and consumer devices smarter and connected.
The Optomec customer base includes top manufacturing innovators. These include industrial, research and government organizations such as General Electric, United Technologies, Boeing, Xerox, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), multiple Fraunhofer Institutes (IFAM, IKTS, ENAS, IWS, ISE), CEA LETI, IMEC, PeTeC, Sirris, NASA, Sandia National Laboratories, as well as the US Air Force, US Army and US Navy. In addition, Optomec works with a global academic community including Ohio State University, Washington University, Penn State University, SUNY, University of New South Wales (Australia), POSTECH (Korea), NCTU (Taiwan), Sinano (China), Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Arts et Métiers (France), and many more that are developing a new wave of engineers and scientists skilled in clean tech Optomec Additive Manufacturing technology
Optomec Advantage
Additive Manufacturing Ingenuity Powered by Production Solutions.
Optomec printers offer unique advantages over traditional approaches to 3D printing. Most industrial 3D Printers on the market today print plastic parts used as a visual mock-up for the real end-user part. In some cases, 3D Printers will deposit sacrificial materials such as sand to build molds, which in turn are then used to build end products.
By contrast, Optomec printers directly print real end-user parts with materials such as structural metals, conductive metals, and other high value functional materials. Optomec printers are scalable for volume production applications such as printing 3D antennas used in smart phones or repairing metal components used in the aircraft industry. To Optomec, additive manufacturing means adding value in the production line by adding functional materials to any product. This means that Optomec 3D Printers are designed to work in harmony within existing production processes, allowing manufacturers to gracefully implement additive manufacturing technology within their factory.
The bottom line is Optomec delivers production grade 3D printers with a material difference. The benefits are compelling:
-
Lower overall production costs by reducing costs of materials and assembly
-
Streamline time-to-market for design and repair
-
Enable higher functionality products that are smaller and lighter weight
-
Produce superior structural performance and reliability
-
Increase design and manufacturing flexibility
-
Offer a full range of use models, from prototyping to repair/replacement to full production
-
Integrate within traditional production environments
-
Reduce environmental impact
