AddUp and Dassault Aviation are collaborating to move metal additive manufacturing processes from "prototyping" to "mass production" for aeronautics. To achieve this, additive technology must be optimized to demonstrate its capabilities in terms of quality, reproducibility, and productivity, to consider the mass production of metal parts that will then be integrated into aircraft.

AddUp is part of the ambitious “Metal3D” project, which pur- pose is to create a 3D printer that will produce the first me- tal parts in space. This project is led by the European Space Agency (ESA), Airbus Defense and Space, and other industrial and academic partners such as Highftech Engineering and Cranfield University.

Innovative partnership between Kif Parechoc and AddUp. Kif Parechoc, an expert in watch movement components, has signed a highly innovative partnership agreement with AddUp, a French specialist in industrial metal 3D printing, to use metal additive manufacturing for very high precision watchmaking purposes.
