Last month, 3D printing prosthesis manufacturer UNYQ announced that it will open a new office in Charlotte, North Carolina, and now Swiss company Oerlikon has announced that it will expand its global additive manufacturing business and open a new R & D and production center to In the production of advanced 3D printing parts, we provide customers with advanced 3D printing integrated end-to-end services.
Oerlikon is a globally recognized technology group that will invest approximately 550 million Swiss francs (approximately 55 million US dollars) in its new plant in the next two years. The new 3D printing center is also expected to create more than 100 new jobs in the future. The company said that 3D printing has been identified as a potential growth area and is ready to take advantage of "its strong material heritage, service reputation, and market entry".
With its new 3D printing R & D and production equipment, Oerlikon aims to further establish itself as a global leader in surface solutions and advanced materials. The expansion of the company's global 3D printing business can be attributed to the simultaneous increase in demand for advanced 3D printed metal parts in various industries. As we know, 3D printing provides manufacturers with many advantages over traditional manufacturing processes, such as customization, as well as efficiency in terms of materials, delivery time and cost.
Dr. Roland Fischer, CEO of the Oerlikon Group, said: "Innovation is a strategic driving force for Oerlikon's growth. We have been committed to strengthening our innovation capabilities and maintaining the forefront of developing new technologies in our field. As we strategically transform into Powerful for surface solutions and advanced materials, we are investing in businesses with high growth potential, such as 3D printing.
Now, Oerlikon Group hopes to promote and promote the adoption of industrial 3D printing technology on a larger scale. Specifically, it is seeking to provide its own AM technology, such as atomization of metal powders, additive manufacturing and post-processing of 3D printed parts.
The new 3D printing R & D center will mark Oerlikon's fourth AM network location. Other locations include old lime mines in Barleben, Germany and Atlanta, Georgia, and advanced metal powder production facilities in Plymouth, Michigan. According to the company, its new plant will officially open in 2018, but it will still carry out its Charlotte additive manufacturing business from temporary facilities.
"The Charlotte 3D Printing Center is an important step in our plan to grow our additive manufacturing business and our investment in key technology areas. This investment highlights our intention to become a leading independent global partner for 3D printing industrialization. I want to thank Our economic development partners in North Carolina and Charlotte support our investment, "Fischer added.
