Wayland Additive and TECCLUSTER cooperate for metal AM in Northern Europe

Wayland Additive has announced a partnership at Formnext 2024 with the Danish company TECCLUSTER A/S, which has been offering innovative solutions for industrial 3D printing under the leadership of Per Lynnerup since 2003.

With over 30 years of experience in additive manufacturing, Lynnerup brings in-depth expertise and an extensive network to this cooperation. The aim of the partnership is to promote Wayland Additive’s NeuBeam technology in the Nordic and Baltic regions.

Commenting on the partnership agreement, Lynnerup said: “I have worked with 3D printers since 1989 and I have known Pete [Hansford] for many years. His experience in this industry is almost — ALMOST — as long as mine. What the Wayland team has achieved with the NeuBeam process is remarkable and solves many of the issues that companies using metal AM technologies face. It is particularly impressive that the Calibur3 system can deliver advanced applications in a much broader range of metal materials, including notoriously difficult materials such as Tungsten and Moly [Molybdenum] and associated alloys. Add to this the fact that parts produced by Calibur3 require only a fraction of the post processing that other metal processes require, and the Calibur3 system is a compelling solution for manufacturers with complex metal applications. I am looking forward to sharing this solution across my network.”

NeuBeam technology, which is used in Wayland Additive’s Calibur3 system, offers a solution to many challenges that arise in additive manufacturing with metals. Of particular note is the system’s ability to produce complex parts from difficult-to-process materials such as tungsten, molybdenum and their alloys. The technology enables an even distribution of energy during the printing process, significantly reducing post-processing. According to Lynnerup, this is a key advantage for manufacturers with demanding metal applications.

Peter Hansford, CRO at Wayland Additive, also commented on the partnership agreement, which was finalized at Formnext 2024: “This agreement with TECCLUSTER further demonstrates the excitement about, and the very real demand for, the capabilities of our NeuBeam process. As Per says, we have known each other for a long time, and he is one of the most knowledgeable people I know in this industry. It is brilliant that Wayland and TECCLUSTER will be working together to deliver the capabilities and the advantages of Calibur3 to a wider audience. I am delighted to be working Per and expanding machine sales across the Nordic and Baltic regions.”

The partnership between Wayland Additive and TECCLUSTER underlines the growing need for advanced additive manufacturing solutions and is expected to open up new opportunities for manufacturers in Northern Europe.
