Solution

Additive manufacturing that adds up

Serial production starts where unit costs can be calculated. Deterministic process behaviour is the precondition — and the point at which prototyping becomes production.

The arithmetic on a real serial part

A topology-optimised bracket in serial production, calculated twice: once prepared conventionally, once with GENESIS. Same machine, same material, same volume.

Four levers on the business case

Predictable costs

Fewer failed builds and predictable preparation make cost per part something you can quote rather than guess.

Shorter lead times

Fewer iteration loops and less post-processing shorten the path from data to part — by up to 70 %.

Fewer supports

Up to 95 % less support volume: less powder, less machine time, less manual removal.

Scale

Repeatable behaviour is what lifts metal additive manufacturing out of prototyping.

What this looks like in the build

Serial production starts where unit costs can be calculated. Deterministic process behaviour is the precondition — and the point at which prototyping becomes production.

What you are trying to solve

Support-free printingSupport structures are not a design feature. They are a consequence of uncontrolled heat — and steering heat flow before the build removes most of the need for them.Distortion controlDistortion does not happen at random. It follows the heat distribution in the part — and that can be computed and influenced before the build.Process stabilityOn high-power machines, thin walls and sharp corners have forced a compromise: productivity or quality. Locally controlled laser power removes that trade-off.Serial productionSerial production starts where unit costs can be calculated. Deterministic process behaviour is the precondition — and the point at which prototyping becomes production.QualificationBringing a new machine and material combination into service is normally a project. With GENESIS it is a calibration with a clearly defined scope.

Frequently asked questions

Where do these numbers come from?

From a real customer build job: the same topology-optimised bracket, prepared once conventionally and once with simulation. Your numbers depend on part, material and machine — we are happy to work them through with you.

What is the single biggest lever?

Support removal: 8 hours against 0.5 hours per build job is the line that translates most directly into labour cost.

How long does introduction take?

Demo, pilot on one of your parts, then adoption into production — on the desktop or automated through the GENESIS API.

What does qualification require?

Two calibration factors and two build jobs, thermal and mechanical.
