GF Machining Solutions and 3D Systems Enter Partnership

3D Systems, Rock Hill, SC, provider of additive manufacturing solutions, and Switzerland-based GF Machining Solutions have announced their strategic cooperation for jointly developed, integrated manufacturing solutions based on 3D printing.

The partnership, which includes development of a new generation of 3D printing solutions, will combine 3D Systems’ metals additive manufacturing expertise with GF Machining Solutions’ subtractive metal manufacturing expertise, enabling more seamless and efficient workflow solutions through integration of 3D printers, materials, software and electrical discharge machining (EDM), as well as milling and laser equipment. The result, say the partners, will be the ability to meet customer demand for complex metal parts within tight tolerances at a lower total cost of operation.

The partnership will launch at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) in Chicago, September 10-15.
