ADDiTEC adds PBF-LB to Additive Manufacturing portfolio with Fusion S
April 10, 2025
ADDiTEC, headquartered in Palm City, Florida, USA, has added Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) technology to its lineup of Additive Manufacturing machines. At Rapid + TCT 2025, the company launched the Fusion S range, a new AM machine intended for high-value applications in aerospace, defence, medical, energy, and tooling industries. In addition to PBF-LB, the company offers Directed Energy Deposition (DED) and Liquid Metal Jetting (LMJ) machines.
“Our new [PBF-LB] platform, Fusion S, brings high-precision, production-grade metal 3D printing to the forefront of our offering,” stated Brian Matthews, CEO of ADDiTEC. “This launch marks a major milestone in our mission to deliver a full-spectrum metal AM portfolio that addresses the most demanding use cases – from aerospace and defence to medical and energy. RAPID is the perfect venue to showcase this evolution.”
Developed through strategic collaboration, the Fusion S features a 200 W laser with a 50 µm welding spot. The machine can produce layer thicknesses of 10-50 µm and build speeds of up to 5 m/s. Operating with AL3D-OS software, the machine also offers optimised build parameters for advanced alloys such as titanium, stainless steel, and cobalt chrome.
The turnkey machine also features integrated post-processing capabilities and an intelligent powder cartridge system to enable the safe, economical handling of powder. The Fusion S also includes the Fusion Cabin unpacking station, which allows users to clean the additively manufactured component of residual powder in a closed process chamber.
Rapid + TCT visitors can see the new Fusion S in person at Booth 2520 alongside additively manufactured parts and live demonstrations.
