01 / Metal AM
Manufacture metal parts with LMD, SLM or hybrid routes
Use this path when the project is a new component, prototype, compact SLM part, large LMD build, hard-to-machine alloy or hybrid additive route.
Open Metal AM service pageServices
Manufacture, repair or coat industrial metal components with the right additive route.
Each service starts with the same engineering logic: part fit, material, LMD/SLM/hybrid process route, post-processing, inspection and RFQ data.
Three service paths
Start with the job: build, restore or protect.
Use the service overview to choose the right route quickly. Each service page adds deeper guidance, proof examples and RFQ steps.
02 / Repair and modification
Restore geometry before replacement becomes the only option
Use this path for worn, damaged, undersized or modified high-value parts where downtime, replacement lead time or salvage value matters.

03 / Laser cladding
Add protective metal layers to working surfaces
Use this path when the main issue is wear, corrosion, oxidation, tribology or a local surface zone that needs a metallurgical overlay.

Different buyer intent, different next page.
If the route is unclear, start with a decision tool before sending a request. If the route is clear, use the service page for proof, articles and intake details.

Proof stories
LMD proof stories connect geometry, material and surface function.
These examples show rapid functional prototyping with a custom coating, a 130 mm build-and-coat drill workflow, a heat-managed rotor wedge coating route, a thin-walled multi-material nozzle design, a valve seat ring hard-coating workflow and forging hammer repair logic for high-impact wear. Final feasibility still depends on part condition, material, finishing and inspection requirements.
