Enabling simple printing and repair of large metal parts

Large-scale metal are subject to strict quality standards in the energy, aerospace, industry and defense markets. Defects or non-quality result in lost profits.

Traditional methods consume large amounts of energy and resources and have a high environmental footprint. They are not competitive or agile enough to build, repair or remanufacture high-value, low-volume parts.

With AMFREE Machine, manufacturing large metal parts becomes fast, cost-effective, and sustainable!

Why AMFREE?

Additive manufacturing reduces energy and material consumption, waste and pollution, helping companies reduce the global carbon footprint of large-scale metal manufacturing. Our machines are designed to produce sustainable repairable parts. It’s also possible to extend the life of existing parts, helping to build a sustainable and more resilient industry for the next generations. It’s enable waste reduction, by using a strictly limited amount of raw material.

All AMFREE machines opens a 60-month access to “Service Center”. It works to improve user experience, and guide you to use the best of AMFREE machines:

  • Provides customer support and assistance
  • Guide you to qualify new applications (ready to use)
  • Pre-qualify new materials – Improve user experience

Most people forget additional hidden costs to use an industrial additive manufacturing machine and build qualified parts: CAD/CAM software, additive manufacturing specialists to set up new applications, additional sensors to monitor the process, tests to qualify new applications, complexity induced using non-standard software or home-made machines…

To avoid any hidden costs, AMFREE solutions are standardized and ready to be used by non-specialists, to guarantee first-time-good parts. All software and hardware provided are fully compatible (with each other) and allow the transfer of production from site to site, from user to user, with the same quality. You don’t need to be an expert to use an AMFREE machine, and the entire user experience is designed to make it easy for non-specialists to produce complex parts according to strict market standards.

The high productivity of the AMFREE machine enables production 2 to 20 times faster than other large-scale additive manufacturing technologies, including for multidirectional manufacturing. Designed to be robust for long cycles, laser multi-wire technology doesn’t require inter-layer temporization for most of the maretrial, and laser accuracy combined to a manageable track enable manfuracturing with reduced manufacturing offsets. High-speed thermomechanical simulation is used to de-risk manufacturing prior to fabrication.  Unpredictable defects are directly controlled by process control during manufacturing to ensure the best and most consistent quality.

The laser melts the material continuously. Dynamic energy management ensures the best melting conditions for the specific material and deposition configuration. The high metallurgical quality of the laser process is now available for high volume production. Energy management and wire feed are managed independently, making the technology extremely robust. In addition, AMFREE technology has an ultra-wide operating window.

Work with our technical team to maximize your business.

Use cases

Energy

Spare parts remanufacturing
Testimonial: We need to produce custom parts to ensure the maintenance of offshore platforms. With AMFREE’s technology, we can quickly produce large unique and accurate parts in few days. We need to ensure the longevity of our repairs and reduce maintenance times to get assets back online quickly and limit downtime.

Space

Competitive manufacturing of large-scale parts
Testimonial: For the next generation of rockets, we need to produce more competitive, high-value aluminium parts. The machine should ensure and demonstrate quality and robustness over long cycles. AMFREE’s technology has proven its ability to easily produce massive parts and add features while maintaining part integrity.

Defense

Local manufacturing
Testimonial: Today, industrial sovereignty must be ensured. AMFREE’s machine allows us to produce serial parts or spare parts on demand, quickly and locally. The same machine allows us to produce blanks in any material from welding wires, which we can store preventively.

Industry

New paradigm for steel industry
Testimonial: The big metal manufacturing market is highly competitive. To remain competitive locally and limit the carbon footprint of our products, we need to produce blanks. AMFREE’s additive manufacturing machines will help us diversify our operations by offering repair services to extend parts lifetime.

In addition, AMFREE’s solutions allows us to expand our activities to repair more complex and accurate parts and to enter new markets by offering new qualified applications to our customers. The use of SIEMENS NX software by our design office will modernize our factories and simplify the programming of our CNC.

Tooling

Simplified automated maintenance
Testimonial: Foundry molds are subject to wear. Today, repairing them is long and not always successful because it is done manually. Using AMFREE's machine allows automation of measurement and repair in the same place. By using pre-qualified materials, we can repair quickly and significantly reduce the maintenance time.

In addition, the same technology could be used to build custom shapes from scratch on demand. It simplifies our supply chain for mold manufacturing.

Railway

Shorted lead-lime for large-scale parts
Testimonial: Today, our foundry and forges suppliers have lead times of 6-12 months to supply large custom parts. Integrating AMFREE’s large-scale metal additive manufacturing machine will allow us to reduce the production of blanks to just a few weeks and internalize cladding operations and geometric control.
