A leading Tier One metal additive manufacturers for the aerospace and defense industry that produces multiple furnaces has officially opened the doors to its new 55,000 square foot advanced manufacturing facility, located in Hollywood, Florida. The new plant, which also serves as the company’s headquarters, recently celebrated its grand opening.
Sintavia LLC’s facility houses over $25 million of advanced manufacturing equipment including multiple furnaces, medium and large scale metal printers, EDMs, post-processing machines, and wet-booths. Some of the industrial engineering improvements of the building include separate manufacturing rooms segregated by alloy, a large-scale powder management system, an uninterruptible power supply, an inert gas farm, and a final production acceptance quality control room.
The new facility is capable of producing tens of thousands of parts representing in excess of $100mm of AM revenue annually. The expansion is anticipated to bring more than 130 new jobs for skilled employees and support staff to South Florida.
“This new facility is the first of its kind in North America to offer large-scale AM production coupled with a robust aerospace quality management system,” said Brian Neff, Sintavia’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “As we grow, it will serve as a template for future vertically-aligned advanced manufacturing facilities around the U.S. and the world.” Over 150 customers, industry partners, and government officials attended the opening.
