Sintavia, an additive manufacturing service provider, has aligned itself with TRUMPF Group to accelerate the usage of the TRUMPF TruPrint metal printers in the aerospace industry.
As per the partnership, Sintavia will install a TRUMPF TruPrint 3000 platform, with industrial part and powder management, in its Davie, FL, manufacturing facility. It is expected this will take place in the early months of 2018.
It’s the latest step in Sintavia’s growing effort to serve its customer base with an array of additive manufacturing options. A new 55,000-square foot facility was announced in May, and just two months later Sintavia had revealed it was taking on EOS’ M400 system.
The company has received two rounds of significant investment from Neff Capital, equating to around $25m. Managing Partner of Neff Capital, and also the Chief Executive Officer of Sintavia, Brian R. Neff, has steered the company since its foundation in 2012, and is glad to have TRUMPF’s support.
“TRUMPF is a globally recognised leader within the high technology tooling and laser industries, and their machine customer support is the best in the world,” said Neff. “Moreover, the TruPrint 3000’s build chamber is completely modular and secure – a requirement for Sintavia’s new Lean production facility. We are excited to work with TRUMPF on the TruPrint 3000, and to grow the relationship into the future.”
Ralf Kimmel, General Manager of TRUMPF North America added: “Between TRUMPF’s leadership in precision tool manufacturing and high technology laser applications, and Sintavia’s vertically aligned manufacturing platform, we feel that this development is a win-win for both parties. The TruPrint 3000 is both scalable and qualifiable, and we look forward to working with Sintavia as it goes through these processes with its numerous aerospace customers.”
