SELECTIVE LASER MELTING SERVICES BUSINESS PLAN

I. Executive Summary

Company Description

Based in Columbus, Ohio, our company is an advanced manufacturing partner serving critical US industries. We operate in the metal additive manufacturing sector using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) to produce high-strength, complex metal parts from aerospace-grade alloys and medical-grade powders. We offer end-to-end services—printing, post-processing, and metrology—positioning us as a secure, domestic supply chain partner for aerospace, defense, medical, and automotive customers. One clear point: we deliver complex parts that traditional manufacturing cannot make.

In the short term we are focused on commercializing our Columbus facility and signing contracts with tier-1 suppliers and OEMs in our target sectors. By 2026 we aim to be a key enabler for American innovators, supplying on-demand, certified components and reducing lead times and supply-chain risk. What sets us apart is our combination of SLM expertise, certified powder use, and integrated quality systems that meet industry standards. One clear point: we are a domestic, end-to-end SLM partner for regulated industries.

Problem

Slow, costly metal fabrication methods create long lead times and high per-part costs for low-volume, high-complexity components, and they cannot produce the internal geometries required for lightweight, high-performance aerospace and medical parts. This drives certification delays, higher inventory and scrap costs, and limits rapid design iteration—creating a domestic supply chain vulnerability for mission-critical parts.

Existing solutions—casting, machining, and external low-cost suppliers—leave a gap for a secure, domestic partner that can deliver finished, inspection-ready parts from aerospace-grade and medical-grade powders. Based in Columbus, Ohio, we provide on-demand Selective Laser Melting (SLM) printing plus post-processing and metrology to close that gap and enable next-generation designs that traditional methods cannot make.

Solution

We address slow lead times, high cost for complex designs, and supply-chain risk by providing on-demand Selective Laser Melting (SLM) metal 3D printing and end-to-end design-for-additive-manufacturing services from a Columbus, Ohio facility operational by 2026. One-line: we deliver complex, high-strength metal parts in days rather than months.

Using SLM with high-purity Titanium, Inconel, and Aluminum alloys, plus DfAM consultation, heat treatment, and CNC finishing, we eliminate tooling, enable consolidated assemblies and lightweight geometries, and keep critical production domestic for aerospace, defense, and industrial customers.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to empower American innovators by delivering the most advanced, reliable, and precise metal additive manufacturing solutions. We commit to transforming the domestic supply chain through adoption of Selective Laser Melting, enabling “impossible” designs for aerospace, medical, and industrial customers while serving as a consultative partner that delivers exceptional quality, speed, and design freedom. Through continuous investment in technology and people, we will lead the shift to a more efficient and sustainable U.S. manufacturing future.

Key Success Factors

Success rests on technical expertise, required certifications, strong economics, strategic partners, and a secure US facility.

• DfAM and alloy capability: Deep Design for Additive Manufacturing expertise and proficiency with Titanium and Inconel 718.
• Regulatory certifications: Maintenance of AS9100 and ISO to serve aerospace and medical segments.
• Project-based economics: 12-month payback and high EBITDA margins from high-value, on-demand parts.
• Technology partnerships: Strategic alliances with equipment manufacturers and software providers for leading capabilities.
• US-based secure facility: Domestic location ensuring reliability and IP protection for high-tech clients.
