Precision Additive launches PA-300 for high-speed Additive Manufacturing
Precision Additive, Noblesville, Indiana, USA, has launched the PA-300, the company’s first Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) metal Additive Manufacturing machine. The PA-300 combines proprietary high-performance laser technology, Artificial Intelligence, and Precision Additive’s qualification process. Its Selective Stepped Laser Melting (SSLM) laser reportedly enables build speeds up to 10 x faster than other PBF-LB AM machines.
The PA series is designed for the production of high-quality, qualification-ready components for use in strictly regulated sectors such as defence, aerospace, energy, and medical. The machine’s embedded AI continuously monitors the build and is designed to automatically correct deviations in real time.
These capabilities are unified through Precision Additive Qualification (PAQ), a data-driven framework that enables consistent, repeatable results. According to Precision Additive, the tightly controlled process makes it possible to reliably additively manufacture reactive alloys such as magnesium, tungsten and copper.
“As defence programmes face fragile supply chains and increasing reliance on foreign sources for high-complexity parts, domestic manufacturing capability has become essential to readiness,” stated Jon Haase, Chief Strategy Officer and President of Government Business. “The PA machines are designed to restore secure US-based production. These machines are critical to US defence and exceed international printers.”
Precision Additive has collaborated with NVIDIA to advance physics-based, AI-driven manufacturing technologies. The company’s AI framework reportedly supports real-time process optimisation, predictive quality assurance, and scalable qualification workflows.
“Additive Manufacturing is entering a new era defined by intelligence, reliability, and accountability,” said Bala Anand Jeldi, founder and CEO of Precision Additive. “Precision Additive was created to ensure advanced manufacturing systems are not only innovative, but dependable enough to support the most demanding applications.”
