We are at the end of a trial campaign with Sotimeco solutions for extruder components subject to very high mechanical stress and wear. To date, parts produced using Sotimeco's DED WLAM process are being tested by a pilot customer. Initial results are extremely promising, both in terms of mechanical strength and wear resistance, at a cost lower than or equal to our current costs, and with much shorter lead-times - 4 to 5 weeks for parts produced by Sotimeco, compared with our in-house lead-times of 3 months.

The tests and developments we carried out using Sotimeco's metal additive manufacturing solutions on behalf of an aeronautical equipment manufacturer far exceeded our expectations, both in terms of wear resistance and manufacturing cost and quality. Sotimeco's technology enabled us to provide our customer with a high-performance solution.

Thanks to the versatility of the GICAM 2000, we were able to repair parts that had previously been considered disposable. Their innovative technology has enabled us not only to regenerate our customers' tools, but also to extend their service life, thereby reducing overall costs. A CSR approach fully validated by Sotimeco technology.

Sotimeco supplied us with a GICAM 600 in 2022, with results that exceeded our expectations, particularly in terms of product test quality, versatility and precision. Sotimeco's technology has been selected at European level. We also greatly appreciate the responsiveness and professionalism of the Sotimeco team.
