Increased production penetration in major accounts is driving sales post-COVID

Optomec, an established leader in Additive Manufacturing solutions for 3D Metal Printing and 3D Printed Electronics, has recently received more than $7 Million worth of new orders from its installed base. The orders include more than 10 new systems being added to increase capacity for existing users, together with a range of enabling software products and digital process recipes.

"and it seems only natural that the first movers making new investments are our long-time customers, many of whom have proven high ROI's on our production Additive Manufacturing equipment."

In one example, a major Defense Electronics OEM has added another two 3D Printed Electronics machines, bringing its total fleet to 10 Aerosol Jet systems, the majority of which are used in production for advanced semiconductor packaging applications. The order has a value of $500,000.

In another case, a top-tier supplier of Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services for gas turbine engines added a 5th production system for the restoration of turbine blades. This $1 Million 3D Metal Printer suggests a return to investment for the aviation sector.

"We have seen a marked increase in business activity over the last few months, following COVID's peak case count in the first quarter," said David Ramahi, CEO "and it seems only natural that the first movers making new investments are our long-time customers, many of whom have proven high ROI's on our production Additive Manufacturing equipment."
