AddUp Selected by Armadillo Additive for Powder Bed Fusion

Armadillo Additive launched their new advanced additive manufacturing facility, anchored by AddUp’s FormUp 350 Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) machine, known for its substantial build volume, high performance and productivity and best-in-class surface finish.

The new facility specializes in Grade 23 Titanium, offering high strength-to-weight ratios and biocompatibility for medical devices. Their capabilities extend to intricate lattice design work, optimizing structural integrity and material efficiency. Complemented by in-house services like laser marking, heat treatment and bead blasting, they deliver end-to-end solutions that meet the demands of medical engineering.

Armadillo Additive chose AddUp’s FormUp 350 to produce medical implants at volume with a high-quality surface finish as printed, limiting the need for post processing. “Armadillo Additive Director of Operations, Noah Smith, said, “[FormUp 350 is] on the cutting edge from both a software and hardware perspective. The large build volume and quad laser system allow us to get production jobs done faster than the competition, while the roller recoater lets us push the design envelope to the next level.”
