For the first time, metal additive manufacturing is entering mass production globally, and Prima Additive is honored to mark this milestone by participating in the CECIMO MTI Awards. Our submission – a robotic solution for the Rapid Coating of brake discs using high-speed laser cladding – meets rigorous durability and environmental standards, aligning with Euro 7 regulations set for 2026. Developed by Prima Additive, Comau, and Siemens, our solution boosts productivity with advanced laser technologies. The first six-system coating line, installed at Stellantis, processes each disc in about 60 seconds with 95% efficiency. It’s energy-efficient, reuses metal powders, and is reliable for industrial settings like foundries. The MTI Awards offer a platform to showcase these innovations and connect with industry leaders for sustainable, high-performance manufacturing.
