JPB Système has announced that it has acquired shares in French 3D printing start-up Addimetal. This strategic investment enables the two companies to fully and securely share their knowledge of industrial metal binder jetting (MBJ) 3D printing technology. This technology is used for low-volume production of small, complex, lightweight and repeatable parts.
The collaboration between JPB Système and Addimetal focuses on the development of Addimetal’s open hardware platform, technology and associated processes. This is to ensure that both existing and future application requirements are met. In addition to financial support, Addimetal will benefit from JPB’s insights into the specific application areas and requirements for which MBJ is best suited.
“Our interest in MBJ has been ongoing for several years and it remains a cutting-edge 3D printing technology offered by only a small handful of players,” said Damien Marc, CEO of JPB Système. “The purchase of shares in Addimetal underlines our commitment to support the development of open 3D printing platforms that ensure a broader and more unlimited range of solutions for the production of small, complex, but lightweight parts in small volumes,” he adds.
JPB Système plans to have its first MBJ production parts in production by 2026.
