Farsoon Europe GmbH, based in Stuttgart, Germany, the European subsidiary of Additive Manufacturing machine maker Farsoon Technology Inc, headquartered in Changsha, China, and toolcraft AG, based in Georgensgmünd, Germany, have announced the successful conclusion of their one-year Joint Development Agreement (JDA). This collaborative effort is said to have culminated in significant advancements and has strengthened the partnership between the two companies.

The JDA focused on several key areas of development: optimising Farsoon’s Additive Manufacturing machines, developing ALSi10Mg parameters, and integrating Siemens NX software. Over the past year, Farsoon and toolcraft have worked closely to achieve these milestones, demonstrating a shared commitment to innovation and excellence in Additive Manufacturing.
