M Aerospace:
Juan Carlos Munguia
The traditional manufacturing process of industrial metal is a notoriously expensive and lengthy process. 3D metal printers have the potential to make metal manufacturing far easier, yet no cost effective solutions exist for industrial applications. M Aerospace’s team (previously at Honeywell, Safran and Collins Aerospace) has created the world’s first affordable large scale metal 3D printer. Their beachhead product, the Armdust 2.0, makes large metal parts cheaper and faster with the same or higher quality compared to parts made using traditional methods. The Armdust 2.0 can be placed on-site to make parts on-demand, eliminating supply chain and shipping constraints.
