As pioneering technology innovators creating the production platforms for the manufacturers of tomorrow, the spirit of our company’s founder lives on. For over a decade Matsuura has been developing the LUMEX Avance-25 - the world’s first 3D Printing, Metal Laser Sintering Milling Hybrid CNC machine tool – a truly innovative platform in Net Shape Form and Additive Manufacturing – with the integration of a proven Matsuura high speed milling spindle for subtractive machining processes.
The ability to "grow" a metal component in layers with complex internal features and mill those internal features as the layers are added to give a perfect surface finish are what makes the LUMEX Avance -25 such a distinctive and remarkable production machine tool - offering designers and manufacturers a route to designing what they can imagine, and not be limited by the restrictions of their current production methods, strategies and machines.
In the UK, customers include a prestigious technology leading mould and die company - now creating complex moulds that were previously impossible to manufacture by conventional methods.
There is a LUMEX Avance-25 installed at Matsuura UK in our widely resepcted Additive Manufacturing Centre in Leicestershire, England.
