Development Partners

Fraunhofer IFAM Dresden, one of the leading institutes in powder metallurgy, conducts fundamental and applied research for solution-oriented material and technology development for innovative sintered and composite materials, functional materials as well as cellular metallic materials for energy technology, mobility, and medical technology. Hydrogen technology plays a key role in the field of energy technology.
The range of services comprises the industrial implementation of the research results through to the manufacture of prototypical components and their transfer to industrial application. The developments are carried out along the entire process chain. One technological focus lies on powder-based additive manufacturing (e.g. Selective Electron Beam Melting, 3D screen printing, Fused Filament Fabrication, Gel Casting, MoldJet and LMM) as well as further special technologies like melt spinning, melt extraction, spark plasma sintering and molding processes which support the material and component development.
In the accredited testing laboratory, powder characterizations and tests of sintered materials are carried out according to DIN/ISO standards.
The institute is distinguished by its strong interdisciplinary team in the fields of materials and production engineering, process engineering, mechatronics, chemistry, and physics, which develops the right solution for your problems.
In cooperation with Tritone Technologies, Fraunhofer IFAM is a beta tester for the MoldJet system Tritone DOMINANT installed at the Innovation Center Additive Manufacturing ICAM® in Dresden.
The institute supports the development of paste systems and heat treatment processes.

INOVSYS focuses on the testing, validation, and implementation of novel processes for the additive manufacturing industry. INOVSYS has made significant investments in industrial 3D printing for both metal and polymer materials. The company offers support to its clients through both:

• Production of prototypes and functional parts, in single parts or in series, new parts or spare parts
• Studies on:
  • Design optimization (functions integration, mass gain, topological optimization…)
  • Development of parameters for new materials (paste, powder of filament)
  • Qualification plan for sectors with high level of requirements like nuclear and aeronautics (analysis of the influence of material and process parameters on the characteristics of the parts)

INOVSYS is actively involved in several large-scale 3D printing projects in France, collaborating with prominent corporations and research laboratories.

INOVSYS was founded in 2014 by a reputable group of shareholders, laboratories, and industrialists, including Airbus and EDF (French Main Energy Company). The company is based in the city of Marignane in France in the Henri Fabre Technocentre.
