## How to scale from short-run to series production without assuming prohibitive tooling costs?

**How to scale from short-run to series production without assuming prohibitive tooling costs?**

In industrial component development, one of the greatest technical challenges is achieving complex geometries while maintaining strict control over initial costs. Industrial additive manufacturing is no longer just a prototyping tool; it has become a viable, production-ready solution—provided the optimal process and material are selected for each specific application.

From our manufacturing facility in Barcelona (Spain), we support technical departments by integrating a wide range of in-house technologies tailored to their precise requirements:

➔ **Series production & isotropy:** Through MJF (Multi Jet Fusion) technology in Polyamida PA12 and TPU, ideal for robust, market-ready components.

➔ **Total geometric freedom:** Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) eliminates the need for support structures, allowing for intricate internal cavities in technical materials.

➔ **High resolution & biocompatibility:** SLA (Stereolithography) processes using epoxy resins for high-definition visual models or certified parts for the medical and food sectors.

➔ **Industrial tooling & large format:** FDM extrusion using high-performance engineering thermoplastics (such as ULTEM or ABS/PC) to equip assembly lines directly.

➔ **Lightweight metal components:** Layer-by-layer laser melting (SLM) in steel, titanium, or aluminium to optimise weight in demanding sectors like transport.

Since 2000, we have combined this comprehensive in-house infrastructure with advanced post-processing, technical painting, and quality verification, managing global projects directly from our European industrial hub.
