DEFENCE & INDUSTRIAL · COMPLEX TITANIUM PARTS, POWERED BY E-PBF

Bulky, tall, stackable titanium additive, at scale

AIM helps energy, defence, aerospace and automotive companies make bulky and tall or stackable titanium parts that laser PBF can't reach economically. Low residual stress, efficient nesting and plate-free starts make E-PBF cost-competitive at serial volume.

WHAT aim brings

Audit-ready from day one – and built to compete on cost

The right cases for additive

Not every part belongs in additive. AIM helps identify where geometry, performance, lead time or cost make E-PBF the better route, and is honest when it isn't.

From feasibility to production

AIM screens the application, optimizes the design and build strategy, and takes the part through to qualified serial production.

Make advanced titanium parts practical

Shorter lead times, more design freedom and cost-efficient production for titanium parts that are otherwise hard or uneconomical to make.

The E-PBF advantage for bulky parts

Low residual stress, a hot-chamber process and efficient nesting make E-PBF uniquely suited to large, tall and stackable titanium parts, where laser PBF hits thermal and geometric limits.

Crack-free

AIM builds large, complex titanium impellers crack-free, at sizes and wall sections laser PBF struggles to reach reliably. Bulky titanium is exactly where most powder-bed processes hit a wall: as a part grows, residual stress builds layer by layer and can end in cracking or distortion.

The difference is the process. E-PBF runs hot: the powder bed is held at high temperature throughout the build, rather than melting layer by layer into a far cooler bed the way laser PBF works. Low thermal gradients mean low residual stress, the force that cracks and warps large parts, so bulky impellers can be built at full size and taken into serial production without the stress-driven cracking that limits other routes.
