Recently, a majority stake of 3D printing service bureau Incodema3D was purchased by AFM Capital. Under new ownership, the Freeville, New York company is now using its cash-rich parent for renewed expansion, and bought four EOS M 400-4 systems and one EOS M4 ONYX. It will get an additional four EOS M4 ONYX printers, two EOS M 400-4 printers, and three EOS M 300-4 printers. Someone definitely made their bonus this year.
This will make Incodema3D the largest EOS customer, and one of the largest operators of metal 3D printing systems worldwide, with over 50 EOS systems. The company, which manufactures mainly for defense and suppressors but also aerospace and high-tech industry, is forging ahead in increasing capacity.
Incodema3D CEO Sean Whittaker, wisely left in place by AFM Capital, said,
“Through 2030 we project continued high growth, and our business requires us to expand our existing facilities, add a new facility, and significantly increase our hiring – all challenges we are tackling right now. With a sense of urgency to support national priorities, we truly feel that we are setting the bar for contracted metal AM production and have created well-oiled processes to produce everything from 10 mission-critical parts for a defense customer to 10,000 parts for an energy company.”
The company is now aiming to increase its capacity by 300% by 2030 and open a new facility. Incodema has been loyal to EOS since 2012. The company has also relied on Haas, Mazak, Midaco, HK Technologies, and Solukon. These partners and their long-standing relationships have allowed Incodema to build one of the most efficient and highest-quality operations out there. The team is very experienced as well, which has allowed the company to excel. Several people there have spent a decade or more in additive, some have 30 years of experience, and many have been with Incodema for over a decade. Tenure and tribal knowledge are key in safeguarding costs and excellence. Incodema also focuses on a similar quality level across the board, so it doesn’t have the mixed cost of quality problem that many services have. The video above is surprisingly helpful in understanding Incodema and how they think.
Matt Lewis, Incodema3D’s Vice President of Programs, said,
“We are constantly introducing process improvements and efficiencies through automation wherever possible to achieve quality and throughput. By integrating design for additive manufacturing, industrial-scale 3D printing, post-processing, precision machining, inspection, and fulfillment under one roof, we can move complex metal parts into production with speed, consistency, and confidence. This end-to-end approach allows us to support demanding production programs while reducing lead times, improving part performance, and simplifying the supply chain.”
Glynn Fletcher, the potentially very happy president of EOS North America, stated,
