‘’We started our metallic additive journey in 2008 where we aligned ourselves with industry and academic partners. The strategic technology driver for our business here was the market intelligence gained by our research, development and innovation (RDI) team. Our RDI and Quality team have really been the backbone to this technology success for us here in Croom. They have consistently gone above and beyond in collaborating with our OEM customer base on developing a cost competitive additive manufacturing process that meets all morphological, chemistry and mechanical ASTM standards. We have recently invested in an in-house metallurgical lab that will add further value to our operations. With a number of powder bed fusion systems on site, we are looking at EBM and heat treatment processes which will further augment our value add in 2022.’’ Patrick Byrnes, CEO at Croom Medical.
