Digital platforms that solve real problems
A technology stack for design and fabrication of world's best alloys and alloy components.
Better alloys
When a new manufacturing method is invented, new alloys are never far behind. Using legacy materials in AM can lead to cracking, distortion, and force you back into designs shaped by manufacturing limits. ABD® uses metallurgy and advanced data science to navigate vast compositional spaces in days to design novel alloys. From lightweight Mg-, Al-, and Ti-alloys to materials for extreme conditions such as Ni-superalloys and Niobium.
In most cases, the benefits of using AM are not high enough to justify the cost and industrial effort required for adoption. Architect and Engine enable hand‑in‑hand optimisation of component design and manufacturing process. Our engineers move seamlessly between 2D and 3D representations, between geometry and toolpath, to deliver maximum performance at the lowest cycle time possible.
Better design & processing
Less metal melted
More fine features
Better control
AM is ready for production in principle, but there are challenges in practice. Stochastic process behaviour and machine variability make qualification expensive and scaling difficult. Nexus is our manufacturing data backbone creating calibrated digital twins of the original builds, AI enabled for machine-agnostic predictable and repeatable industrialisation.
