Refurbishment is the work that brings most of our customers in. The other three practice areas — contract manufacturing, in-situ sensors, and novel-material R&D — are how we keep solving harder problems with the same machines, the same data, and the same people.
Refurbishing and modifying LPBF machines is one of our largest practice areas. We bring legacy EOS, Concept Laser, and 3D Systems systems back to spec — and forward to where the work is going.
Past refurbishment customers include independent additive shops, universities, and NASA. Common projects:
Production-grade metal LPBF parts on six active printers — with a large-format Xline coming online Q2.
We run standard alloys at production volumes and use our in-house LFS Insights™ sensor stack on every build for process records that hold up to qualification scrutiny.
A third-party in-situ monitoring package that captures the data you actually need — without breaking the certification status of your machine.
Built by Drs. Barrett and Middendorf, who have been developing LPBF sensors for a decade.

Most LPBF shops are built for production. We are built for the parts and materials that don't have a process window yet.
Recent novel-material work spans refractory alloys, ODS composites, GRX-810, tungsten, and lunar regolith. We've taken machines and sensors from TRL 1 to TRL 9 — and we work directly with university labs and government program managers on funded R&D.
