Additive Space has harnessed cutting-edge technology with our multi-robot system, combining wire-arc additive manufacturing and near-net milling, all powered by advanced AI. Our solution can 3D-weld and mill large metal parts for Air Force vehicles and infrastructure projects 70% quicker than the rest of the aerospace world, measured in days rather than weeks. This revolutionary approach transforms the way you can fabricate large-scale metal components. We utilize readily available wire feedstock, ensuring both convenience and cost-effectiveness. The result is not only speed but also exceptional quality, with superior microstructures. Plus, there's no need for time-consuming assembly. Additive Space is here to help the Air Force achieve new heights in efficiency and performance.

Solideon’s portable Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) cell addresses a critical need for rapid, on-demand part production within Air Force sustainment and aerospace manufacturing. Traditional repair and fabrication processes are slow, complex, and constrained by long lead times and supply chain limitations, often grounding aircraft for extended periods. Solideon’s WAAM system integrates robotic automation, real-time process monitoring, and an intuitive user interface, enabling personnel with minimal training to produce high-strength metal components in a matter of weeks instead of months or years. Designed for portability and ease of deployment, the system can be quickly reconfigured for use at maintenance depots or forward-operating environments, ensuring faster aircraft repairs, reduced sustainment costs, and enhanced mission readiness.
