Sintavia Increases Production Capabilities

Sintavia LLC, an additive manufacturer supporting the aerospace, defense and space industries, has acquired two additional M400-4 quad laser printers from EOS GmbH of Krailling, Germany. The printers represent the seventh and eighth M400 printers operated by the company, as well as the 20th and 21st industrial printers it owns overall. The purchases follow Sintavia’s acquisition of an additional Arcam Q20+ electron beam printer from GE Additive.

“As we have grown over the past several years, we have shied away from issuing press releases when we acquire new equipment. In a normal year, these announcements are kind of boring. However, this is an unusual year and we feel it is important to let the industry know that demand for aerospace additive manufacturing is booming,” says Brian Neff, Sintavia’s CEO. “The global pandemic has turned the traditional aerospace supply chain on its head, creating real opportunities for companies like Sintavia to offer high precision solutions to OEMs worldwide. The EOS M400-4 is the workhorse of our factory, and we continue to see great results with it.”

The company says it expects to add an additional 6-8 large industrial printers by the end of 2021 and another 8-10 in 2022.
