— Edward Herderick, PhD., Director of Additive Manufacturing, Center for Design and Manufacturing Excellence, The Ohio State University

“[This] has been a great addition to our fleet of metal printers.  We’ve done many new alloy development campaigns utilizing the direct control of optics and parameters coupled with high temperature bed heating.  The system is easy to clean, which for our usage is really important.”

— Bill Macy, Macy Consulting, Inc.

“[ARCTOS’ open source LPBF system and in situ process monitoring software] are influencing the industry and providing much needed process knowledge to the market space. Their team is highly capable and responsive to the industry requirements.”
