Velo3D Partners with Incodema3D

Velo3D Inc. (Campbell, CA) and contract additive manufacturing specialist Incodema3D (Freeville, NY) announced their partnership to drive technology adoption of metal additive manufacturing by bringing together the Velo3D Sapphire™ 3D print system and Flow™ software with Incodema3D production scale manufacturing capabilities for greater innovation for design and production of parts.

“The Sapphire system provides in-situ metrology with real time closed-loop control that enables users to truly control the quality of additive manufacturing on every part,” said Scott Volk, the chief technology officer at Incodema3D. “Through this partnership, we can offer our customers with new levels of production services and unlock new designs at unprecedented levels of quality control.”

“This technology adoption partnership is very strategic for us,” noted Benny Buller, the chief executive officer of Velo3D. “They have a very strong track record in the metal additive manufacturing industry, delivering 3D printing services to leaders in the aerospace, energy and industrial applications. We anticipate our collaboration will start a new wave of growth for the industry.”

Velo3D offers end-to-end metal additive manufacturing (AM) systems – comprised of the Sapphire production system, Flow print preparation software, and Intelligent Fusion™ technology – that can solve some of the most difficult AM challenges, including product design limitations, part-to-part consistency, process control and cost effective manufacturing. The Sapphire system is a laser powder-bed metal additive 3D printing system for high volume manufacturing that is capable of building complex geometries, including designs with overhangs that are less than 5 deg and large inner diameters without supports, something previously unheard of in the AM industry.

“Their technology provides unique capabilities that enable designs we previously could not fulfill,” added Greg Galvin, the executive chairman of Incodema3D. “Sapphire complements our manufacturing capacity and opens the door to new production opportunities that will drive further adoption of metal additive manufacturing. We look forward to accelerating our growth with this partnership.”
