Integrated additive and subtractive manufacturing with 3D Systems and GF Machining

Georg Fischer, GF Machining Solutions and 3D Systems partnered to enhance metal parts production, redefining how manufacturers think about their manufacturing environments. The partnership combines 3D Systems’ expertise in additive manufacturing with GF Machining Solutions’ precision machining, enabling manufacturers to more efficiently produce complex metal parts within tight tolerances, reducing total cost of operations.

The two companies are developing integrated solutions that will deliver a new concept in factory automation, that includes software for enhanced part design, 3D printers, materials and automated material handling, electrical discharge machining (EDM), milling equipment and advanced post-processing technologies. The partnership is rooted in a common focus of providing end-to-end solutions.

“We are excited about this new partnership of two industrial leaders – said Yves Serra, chief executive officer, Georg Fischer -. 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 3D printing”.

“The 3D Systems and GF Machining Solutions partnership brings together two customer-centric innovators to redefine manufacturing and create the factory of the future – states 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 provide our customers with significant competitive advantage through reduced production time, faster time to part, and overall lower total cost of operation”.
