Additively becomes AM Expo 365

Additively is being integrated directly into the am-expo.ch website. This makes the website the central source of information and inspiration before, during and after the trade fair.

Ecoparts produces with solar power

Our photovoltaic system has been in operation since the end of 2023. We produce energy on an area of around 1,000 m2. We expect to be able to use 70% of the electricity generated ourselves, which covers almost half of our energy requirements.

Another step for Ecoparts AG – Welcome machine Nr. 9!

We are delighted to have another EOS M290 machine. This strengthens our production capacity and provides additional flexibility for our additive solutions in metal.
