From one off builds to volume production, Apex provides quality assured manufacturing services to a broad range of sectors including tooling, energy, consumer products, medical, aeropsace and defence. Using in house state of the art equipment from metal AM machines and post processing equipment to a fully equipped materials lab, Apex have the capacity and capability to deliver robust production processes for challengin applications.
Design Freedom: LPBF allows for the realisation of highly complex geometries that traditional manufacturing methods simply cannot achieve.
Greener Manufacturing: By minimising waste through additive rather than subtractive methods and enabling localised production, it eradicates the need for worldwide shipping of components. In our case we use 100% zero-carbon energy sources as well!
Complete Consolidation: LPBF can repeatably produce 100% dense components, setting it apart from other sinter-based technologies; it also yields unique microstructures that can deliver superior mechanical performance to wrought or cast components.
Digital Inventory: Manufacturing using LPBF significantly reduces lead times and reduces or even eliminates the need for warehousing, as parts can be efficiently printed on demand from a curated digital repository.
