PARTNERS & TECHNOLOGIES
OUR PARTNERS. YOUR ADVANTAGE.
We work with the world's leading OEMs and solution providers to deliver the best in additive manufacturing.
DESIGN & PART DECISION TOOLS
3D SPARK
3D Spark turns your CAD files into instant manufacturability insights, cost estimates, and routing decisions across additive and conventional processes. Its geometry analysis engine flags print risks, machining constraints, thin walls, and tolerance issues before they become late-stage problems. Cost and lead-time models compare AM, CNC, sheet metal, and outsourcing so teams can choose the best path with defensible, repeatable logic. Rule-based routing directs each part to the right machine, internal cell, or supplier while keeping an audit trail for engineering, sales, and sourcing.
NB Additive configures your rate cards, rules, and integrations so quoting, approvals, and production release stay fast, accurate, and fully traceable.
3D PRINTING MACHINES
AXTRA3D
Axtra3D introduces a breakthrough in photopolymer 3D printing with its hybrid photo-polymerization technology. By combining the speed of digital light processing (DLP) with the accuracy of stereolithography (SLA), Axtra3D bridges a long-standing gap in resin-based printing.
This unique approach enables the production of faster, more precise polymer parts with exceptional surface quality. From prototyping to end-use production, Axtra3D’s platforms open new possibilities for industries requiring fine detail, speed, and accuracy, including healthcare, consumer products, and industrial manufacturing.
CARACOL
Caracol specializes in hybrid additive manufacturing solutions designed for oversized and custom applications. Their proprietary Heron AM platform combines robotic 3D printing with advanced motion control to produce large-format parts with unmatched flexibility. Using high-performance polymers, composites, and continuous fiber materials, Caracol’s systems can manufacture end-use components for industries like aerospace, marine, energy, and construction.
By integrating additive and subtractive processes in one platform, Caracol delivers scalable, efficient solutions for complex geometries and industrial-scale production.
POWDER HANDLING, DEPOWDERING & FACTORY AUTOMATION
SOLUKON
Solukon sets the global standard for automated depowdering in metal additive manufacturing. Their systems ensure that complex parts are cleaned safely, consistently, and efficiently, eliminating one of the most challenging steps in the production workflow.
With the ability to handle large build sizes and intricate internal geometries, Solukon’s automated depowdering solutions save time, reduce manual labor, and increase overall safety. Trusted by leading aerospace and industrial manufacturers, Solukon has become synonymous with best-in-class powder removal technology.
AM SOLUTIONS
AM Solutions provides a complete range of post-processing systems tailored to additive manufacturing. Their equipment covers cleaning, surface finishing, coloring, and coating, helping transform printed parts into functional, production-ready components.
From automated support removal to mass finishing systems, AM Solutions focuses on repeatability, process automation, and scalability, making it easier for manufacturers to integrate finishing seamlessly into their production workflow.
AM-FLOW
As print capacity grows, post-print becomes the bottleneck: identifying parts, routing them to the right station, and keeping track through finishing, QC, and packing. AM-Flow uses vision-based identification and smart conveyance to automate these repetitive steps, reduce manual handling errors, and give your team live visibility of where every part is in the process.
NB Additive designs the stations, data hand-offs, and operator interactions so AM-Flow slots cleanly into your finishing line, MES/ERP, and quality workflow, without adding complexity.
ASSONIC
Assonic specializes in advanced powder screening and conditioning systems for additive manufacturing. Their patented Sonic Speed Screen™ technology combines ultrasonic vibration with controlled mechanical motion to efficiently recover and refine metal or polymer powders down to ultra-fine particle sizes. Designed for safety and sustainability, Assonic’s systems enable closed-loop powder handling and reuse, minimizing waste and maintaining consistent material quality.
With solutions like the SPC 500, a fully enclosed system for reactive metal powders, Assonic delivers cleaner, safer, and more efficient powder management for industrial AM production environments.
DELFIN
Delfin is a global leader in industrial vacuum systems built for hazardous dust, demanding production environments, and continuous use. With a focus on safety, durability, and certified performance, Delfin provides solutions that help additive manufacturing facilities stay compliant while keeping workcells clean and operators protected. Their vacuums combine grounded stainless steel construction, multi stage filtration, and spark free brushless motors to manage combustible, conductive, and fine powders with confidence.
From Class II Div 2 units for polymer operations to inert bath systems for reactive metals, Delfin delivers equipment that fits seamlessly into AM workflows and supports safe, repeatable powder handling.
SURFACE FINISHING & POLISHING
DLyte
DLyte introduces a revolutionary approach to surface finishing with its dry electropolishing technology. Unlike traditional wet processes that require hazardous chemicals and significant post-treatment handling, DLyte achieves high-quality finishes in a clean, efficient, and environmentally friendly way. This process not only improves the surface appearance of metal parts but also enhances performance by reducing friction and improving corrosion resistance.
For manufacturers looking to combine sustainability with performance, DLyte offers a next-generation solution in metal post-processing.
REM Surface Engineering
Isotropic superfinishing (REM) creates smooth, directionless surfaces that lower friction, reduce stress concentrators, and improve cleanliness. On AM metals, where as-printed roughness and micro-asperities can limit function, REM’s chemomechanical process delivers predictable, repeatable finishes for sealing, fatigue life, and efficiency.
NB Additive designs and validates REM within your entire route—depowder → prep → superfinish → clean → inspect, so your parts are auditable and production-ready.
Joke TECHNOLOGY
Joke Technology specializes in precision surface finishing tools for additive and traditional manufacturing. Their portfolio includes micro-polishing equipment, laser finishing systems, and specialized abrasives designed to meet the highest standards of accuracy and aesthetics.
Whether it’s refining small internal geometries or achieving mirror-like finishes on complex parts, Joke Technology delivers the precision and control needed for high-performance components.
FINANCING
IEC
Industrial Equipment Capital (IEC) provides fast, flexible financing solutions designed specifically for manufacturers investing in new equipment. With more than 80 years of combined lending experience, IEC streamlines the approval process so businesses can acquire critical machinery without tying up cash or navigating slow, restrictive bank requirements. Their one page application, quick credit decisions, and ability to bundle soft costs make financing straightforward from start to finish.
IEC’s transparent terms, fixed rates, and no blanket lien approach give manufacturers a practical, reliable path to expanding capacity and accelerating growth.
