A Tier One metal additive manufacturer recently broke ground on a new facility that will house over $25 million of advanced manufacturing equipment, including vacuum furnaces, a metallurgical and mechanical lab, hot isostatic presses, metal printers, post-processing equipment and a CT scanner.
Sintavia, LLC, expects to open the 55,000-square-foot facility, the first of its kind to employ lean manufacturing principles for large-scale metal additive manufacturing, in Hollywood, Florida, in late 2018. The new plant is expected to result in 110 new jobs for skilled technicians and support personnel for Sintavia’s projects with clients in the aerospace, defense, oil and natural gas, automotive, and ground power generation industries.
