Commenting on the partnership, Sridhar Balaram, CEO of INTECH noted, "Leveraging synergies is key, and the collaboration is a perfect fit of hardware and software." He also added "OPTOMET can also be applied to other key AM technologies, such as Direct Energy Deposition and Binder Jetting. OPTOMET is a game changer for the whole AM market."

INTECH supplies software solutions not only for the LASERTEC SLM series from DMG MORI but also for other products and customers using powder bed technology. The new OPTOMET-software automatically calculates the optimal process parameters. This simplifies programming and results in a markedly improved surface quality as well as reproducible material properties. OPTOMET is a stepping stone towards accelerated industrialization of Additive Manufacturing.
