Advanced Manufacturing

Matching needs to implementation

“Each day, we develop innovative manufacturing solutions for our industrial partners thanks to our unique Direct Metal Deposition and coating tools. The development of green and sustainable manufacturing is a fast growing share of our activities devoted to repair of existing parts and development of innovative coatings to enhance the lifetime of products.”
Cédric Georges
Platform Coordinator Advanced Manufacturing

 

For over 30 years, metal additive manufacturing has evolved with strong involvement across the value chain. Its success in the metallurgical industry depends on close collaboration between materials science, engineering, and process control.

By combining various advanced technologies, we generate both fundamental knowledge and practical skills. These cover design, implementation, usage, and end-of-life management of components. As a result, our advanced manufacturing solutions are not only innovative but also economically and environmentally relevant.

Innovative Materials for Advanced Manufacturing Solutions

Designing, processing, and characterizing innovative alloys is key to building efficient advanced manufacturing solutions. Often, custom-made alloys are needed to fully unlock the potential of a chosen technology. We focus on powder properties such as size, shape, composition, microstructure, and processability to ensure optimal performance.

Hybrid Multi-Technology Manufacturing

CRM Group operates three complementary direct metal deposition platforms. Together, they offer a wide range of powder, wire, laser, arc, and plasma-based technologies. As industry shifts toward hybrid solutions, we integrate additional techniques across these platforms and beyond. We work with materials such as ferrous alloys, aluminum, copper, titanium, Inconel, and even multi-metal combinations.

Repair and Remanufacturing

Repair is a key part of circular economy strategies, helping extend the life of products and materials. We work on cost-effective, low-impact powder production and laser cladding to restore defects. These technologies have already proven effective on massive parts, especially in energy and nuclear sectors.

Surface Finishing

Improving finishing efficiency and performance is critical for components produced through additive manufacturing. This includes internal channels or hard-to-reach surfaces. We evaluate commercial solutions and develop custom processes using several demonstration-scale pilot lines. This enables companies to identify the most suitable finishing method for their application.
