Under the agreement, Airtech will provide comprehensive support to AES in additive manufacturing business opportunities and technical areas. In return, AES commits to exclusive use of Airtech products in its large format additive manufacturing (LFAM) projects.
By pooling their expertise and resources, both companies aim to deliver enhanced product quality, streamlined processes, and innovative solutions.
The collaboration will extend beyond product supply, encompassing joint efforts in design practices, material characterization, tooling to part interaction, material processing, and new material development, as well as market penetration strategies.
Austin Schmidt, president and co-founder of AES, said: “This is a logical agreement between two market leaders in the LFAM space and we are thrilled to further our existing relationship with Airtech.”
Gregory Haye, Director of Additive Manufacturing at Airtech Advanced Materials Group, said: “Airtech is excited to expand their relationship with one of the first commercial adopters of LFAM in North America. AES is dedicated to this technology and delivering meaningful problem-solving solutions to their customers. We look forward to supporting AES customer project success by providing our industry-leading material solutions and technical support capabilities.”
