GF Machining Solutions, a division of GF, and 3D Systems, have announced their strategic cooperation for jointly developed, integrated manufacturing solutions based on 3-D printing.
The partnership includes the development of a new generation of 3-D printing solutions. It will combine 3D Systems' metals additive manufacturing (AM) expertise with GF Machining Solutions' subtractive metal manufacturing expertise, which enables more seamless and efficient workflow solutions through integration of 3-D printers, materials, software and electrical discharge machining (EDM) as well as milling and laser equipment. This is designed to meet the customers' needs to produce complex metal parts within tight tolerances at a lower total cost of operation.
"We are excited about this new partnership of two industrial leaders," GF CEO Yves Serra stated. "With the combined experience and expertise of 3D Systems and GF Machining Solutions, we are well positioned to bring to our customers new manufacturing solutions based on 3-D printing."
"The 3D Systems and GF Machining Solutions partnership brings together two customer-centric innovators to redefine metals manufacturing," said Vyomesh Joshi, President and Chief Executive Officer, 3D Systems. "As industry leaders, both companies share the same vision for transforming manufacturing. We are looking forward to delivering integrated technology solutions to elevate the customer's processes and provide significant competitive advantage through reduced production time, faster time to part and overall lower total cost of operation."
