Additive manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM) offers unlimited possibilities in terms of design, speed and production processes. GF Casting Solutions unifies the expertise of AM and casting technology for serial production.

Our accelerative technology

GF Casting Solutions has long-standing expertise in metal processing and serial production. With our manufacturing technologies, we develop and supply ready-to-mount solutions for customers in several market segments. With additive manufacturing, we provide even more speed and flexibility.

Metal 3D-printing for aerospace, space and energy solutions

With the AMotion Center in the Switzerland, GF Casting Solutions has founded a strongly focused competence center for Additive Manufacturing . The additive manufacturing process maximizes the design flexibility and allows the integration of additional functions due to the absence of tooling. Geometries are no longer limited to the possibilities of traditional technologies. With printing space as big as 500 x 500 x 500 mm, we offer serial production of large additive manufactured components with extremely complex shapes integrating more details and functions.

We support you with long-standing experience from decades!

  • From the very first design concept to serial production
  • Topology optimization from the very beginning
  • Selection of most suitable alloy for high performance applications
  • Combination of several parts and high-level functional integration

With our expertise, we provide the ideal design with funcitonal integration.
