Mears Machine Corporation has achieved a global breakthrough by manufacturing the world's largest single unit unwelded powder bed laser components. More details about this revolutionary manufacturing solution will be revealed in the coming months.

 



"This milestone unlocks a new era in large-format metal additive manufacturing," said James Lloyd, CEO of Mears Machine Corporation. "We can now deliver components with dramatically shorter lead times, reduced cost, no weld seams, and performance characteristics that often exceed traditional fabrication. We expect this to be transformational across Defense, Armaments, Nuclear, Space, Industrial Chemical Processing, and Oil & Gas markets. The forecast growth ahead is substantial as we begin engagements with select strategic customers."
