Arcam Acquires Medical Manufacturer DiSanto Technology

Part of what the additive machine maker gains by acquiring this part producer is CNC machining capacity and expertise. The move follows the acquisition of a Canadian metal powder company.

Metal additive manufacturing machine maker Arcam has acquired DiSanto Technology, the user of Arcam’s electron beam melting technology that we reported on in this article. DiSanto was a successful medical-industry machine shop before the company moved into additive manufacturing for producing surgical implants. Thus, with this acquisition, one thing Arcam gains is machining capacity and expertise. As the article at the link above points out, additive manufacturing and CNC machining go together, because the implants made this way have to be machined, and because making those parts creates the need for related components made through machining.

With this move, Arcam also essentially completes a North American supply chain for additively manufactured parts, because the company also recently acquired Canadian metal powder manufacturer AP&C. Arcam can now supply raw material, additive machines and finished products.
