The offering formalizes a capability Continuum has long applied…
Israeli firm XJet has formalized a Value-Added Reseller agreement with 3D-Werk Black Forest GmbH, positioning the Black Forest-based firm as the primary point of entry for German manufacturers looking to adopt the company’s NanoParticle Jetting technology. The move grants manufacturers in aerospace, defense, and medical devices a local partner with hands-on evaluation capability, including access…
Norwegian additive manufacturer Norsk Titanium has signed a Cooperation & Research Agreement (CRA) with Airbus, moving their relationship from program-specific supply into a structured, multi-year industrialization effort. The agreement targets the qualification of Norsk Titanium’s proprietary Rapid Plasma Deposition technology for fatigue-critical structural titanium parts, a category that represents some of the most demanding certification…
At the Baton Rouge refinery in Louisiana, ExxonMobil faced a recurring challenge: protecting instrument cabinets from oil contamination traveling up thermocouple wires. The component responsible — an anti-wicking device — had design limitations that made it expensive and slow to produce through conventional machining. Switching to Meltio’s wire-based Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) system, the M600,…
Italian aerospace tooling specialist Eligio Re Fraschini partnered with robotic additive manufacturing company Caracol on a co-funded pilot project to test whether wire arc additive manufacturing could viably replace conventional methods for complex aerospace tooling components. The target was a spar tool used in carbon fiber lamination processes, a component defined by tight tolerances, complex…
Small modular reactor startup NX Atomics has announced a partnership with Sciaky, to apply Sciaky’s Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing process, known as EBAM, to components for NX Atomics’ SMR platform.The collaboration aims to reduce both the upfront capital cost and operating cost of SMR deployment by producing nuclear components faster, at lower cost, and in…
Mineral exploration company Scandium Canada has signed a mutual non-disclosure agreement with the University of Waterloo to establish a research collaboration focused on additive manufacturing of aluminum-scandium alloys. The partnership pairs Scandium Canada’s Scandium+ division with Waterloo’s Multi-Scale Additive Manufacturing Laboratory, known as MSAM, one of Canada’s leading AM research centers, operating from Catalyst137 in…
Machine tool manufacturer DMG MORI Federal Services (DMFS) has been selected for the US Defense Logistics Agency’s (DLA) Joint Additive Manufacturing Accelerator (JAMA) IV Pilot Parts Program.
