The company has delivered over 1,900 systems to customers within industries from energy, medical implants, space, aerospace, automotive and food processing. The company is headquartered in Västerås, Sweden, with a presence in 45 countries worldwide.

Today we going to learn exactly what Quintus Technologies does, what Chad Beamer does and, perhaps more importantly, how this relates to additive manufacturing.

Among other things we are going to discuss the latest innovations in Quintus' Hot Isostatic Pressure (HIP) technologies and systems, how these processes can bring significant benefits to parts produced via metal PBF but also all other metal AM processes, from metal binder jetting to DED and cold spray, and which are the most significant areas of application.
