INITIAL offers you one of the largest production capacities in Metal Additive Manufacturing in Europe. A 3D printing service, unitary or serial, for complex parts.
Why offer different layer thicknesses?
The thinner the layer thickness, the higher the definition of the part. Depending on the project, a greater layer thickness, adapted to the geometry, can help to control a budget.
