Food tech company invests in metal additive system for spare parts


Thursday, 31 March, 2016

Additive Industries has announced the sale of a metal additive Beta system to Kaak Group, a Dutch food tech company specialising in integrated automated bakery systems.

“We will use metal additive manufacturing to produce parts for our dough-handling equipment and foresee an important role for 3D metal printing in our future global spare parts supply chain,” said Kaak CEO Lodewijk van der Borg.

Additive Industries has now closed its Beta program and has effectively sold out its MetalFAB1 systems, available in this phase three months after its market launch at the end of 2015. In parallel to the execution of the MetalFAB1 Beta program, Additive Industries will start preparing for series production.

“We expect the first series machines to leave our factory before the end of this year,” said Daan Kersten, co-founder and CEO of Additive Industries.
