Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a manufacturing technique that uses an energy source to selectively fuse together material, building parts layer-by-layer, allowing for unparalleled design freedom and flexibility.
Burloak’s unique AM processes allow clients to harness the nearly limitless potential of this technology to drive innovation, efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Enabling manufacturers to create parts with properties similar to – and in many cases better than – traditionally manufactured parts.
Across all industries, leading companies are exploring the incredible advantages of AM which includes:
Limitless possibilities
AM supports innovation by enabling previously impossible designs in a vast array of materials and configurations with tailored mechanical properties.
Lightweight design
Leveraging a range of material options and well-honed 3D printing techniques, we significantly decrease component weight while increasing part strength and reliability.
Stronger parts
AM allows for the creation of complex geometries with increased strength – similar to what we see in nature – with fully organic shapes that deliver exceptional performance.
Development cycles
We reduce development times by drawing on our in-house, data-led AM expertise.
Sustainable
With highly efficient material use and lower carbon emissions, AM helps you to achieve a more sustainable and eco-friendly manufacturing solution.
Faster production
AM solutions are delivered when and where you need them, delivering an unprecedented level of production flexibility and inventory management – driving shorter lead times and lower working capital for your business.
Optimized supply chains
AM is conducted when, where and in volumes required, relies on fewer materials and partners, and enables the consolidation of multiple parts – helping many OEMs to streamline their supply chains and support in-region supply strategies.
