Optomec, Inc. (Albuquerque, NM) signed an agreement with Select Additive Technologies (Windsor, CT), a division of the Morris Group, Inc. (Windsor, CT), making the full range of Optomec Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) 3D Metal Printing systems accessible through one of the largest CNC machine tool distribution networks in North America. LENS systems enable shops to cost effectively repair, rework and manufacture fully dense, high-performance metal components with excellent mechanical and fatigue properties.
“Adding these systems to our distributors’ existing lineup of CNC machine tools enhances our end-to-end suite of advanced systems for precision metal part repair and production,” said Jeff Holtzapple, the business development manager for Select Additive Technologies. “They integrate decades of experience in directed energy deposition (DED) into their LENS metal additive manufacturing solutions, resulting in high-quality, affordable metal 3D printing solutions that make complex metal parts easier, more precise, efficient and affordable to produce and repair.”
“Having our product lines represented by them is a huge milestone in helping metal additive manufacturing gain deeper penetration into the industrial mainstream,” said Dave Ramahi, the president and chief executive officer of Optomec. “With more than 75 years of manufacturing experience, knowledge and customer support, the distribution network with which they work serves industrial companies from virtually every industry. We could not ask for a better partner to help increase our exposure and reach in the U.S.”
