Contract Manufacturing
Decreasing Time-to-Market With Additive Manufacturing
The Essentium High Speed Extrusion (HSE™) 3D Printing Platform is disrupting every aspect of the factory floor. It is the world’s most comprehensive full-stack advanced manufacturing system, offering high-performance machines and materials that allow you to scale, enhance QA processes, and reduce the need for finished good warehousing. The HSE 3D Printing Platform allows contract manufacturers to execute production runs on-demand with high-performance materials at the lowest possible cost.
Key Applications
HIGH SPEED EXTRUSION FOR CONTRACT MANUFACTURING
As a category creator in additive manufacturing, the HSE 3D Printer solves the speed, strength, and scale issues that have historically limited additive manufacturing solutions. Using all-linear servo motors, the HSE 3D Printing Platform eliminates wasted movement allowing it to reach speeds of up to 500 mm/sec. This system is optimized for industrial production and performs to the level required in the most demanding contract manufacturing environments.
With the industry’s best and broadest material offering and the most advanced high speed extrusion system for scale manufacturing of commercial-grade functional parts, Essentium solutions are ready to deliver the speed and reliability at scale to keep your next job on time and budget.
