METROM

At the start of the new year, imagine something bold: A world without waste 🌍🤯 This isn’t just a dream - it’s a real possibility. 👉 Thermoplastics like PA-6 with carbon fibers can be reused multiple times without losing their mechanical properties. This has been proven by Martin Kausch and the amazing team at Fraunhofer IWU. Their SEAM technology for additive manufacturing is based on granules, which greatly simplifies the processing of recycled material. 💡 When integrated into our machines, the SEAM extruder can realize its full potential for industrial use, achieving incredible output rates of up to 10 kg/h. This isn’t just about reducing waste; it’s about transforming how industries think about materials: Making them investments that last rather than resources to discard. What steps toward circular economy can you envision in your industry?

2024: A Year of Superlatives 😯 This year has been nothing short of extraordinary for us! ➡️ Our smallest machine broke the limits of which accuracy is possible with a robot. Attached to a robotic arm, it achieves 10x greater accuracy due to its own inherent stiffness. ➡️ Just two weeks ago, we shipped our largest mobile machine yet, boasting a machining diameter of 2 meters. As we reflect on 2024, we celebrate how far we’ve come—and as we look ahead to 2025, we’re excited to see what new heights we can reach together. Wishing you a happy and successful new year! 🎉

🎄✨ Merry Christmas from METROM! ✨🎄 The holiday season is a time to pause, reflect, and celebrate. Enjoy being together with family & friends and don't forget to RELAX! We’re incredibly grateful for the support of our amazing team, valued clients and partners who inspire us every day - thank you for being part of our journey. Have a magical Christmas and a truly wonderful holiday season!

Meet our largest machining center yet - a game-changer in precision manufacturing! 🛠️ With a working envelope of 2m x 2m x 1m, the Pentapod P2000 series is ready to tackle your biggest challenges. 5️⃣ True 5-Axis Motion powered by an unque parallel kinematic system 🎯 High accuracy across the entire working envelope - no compromises 🏭 Space-saving design, ideal for maximizing shop floor productivity Our stationary Pentapods are available in four sizes and can be tailored to individual needs: 🔹Rotary tables and linear units (as shown in the video) 🔹Additive and subtractive manufacturing tools 🔹Automatic tool changers Could this machine handle the pieces you work with?

Who says engineering is a man's world? Our CEO Susanne Witt is here to prove otherwise. 💪 In 2016, she took over the management of METROM, building on her father's legacy while forging exciting new directions. Under her leadership, we’ve integrated additive manufacturing into our machines and developed mobile CNC machining solutions. Susanne is also passionate about customer relations. As a family-owned business, we care deeply about the products we sell and will go to great lengths to meet your needs and drive your success. But don't just take our word for it - contact us and see for yourself! 🚀

Why is nobody talking about the future of production being here already? 🤷♂️ ...And it’s portable! The P700 is an innovative hybrid CNC machine that fits into a 20-foot container and can operate without foundation. Why it matters: 💰 Produce parts on demand, anywhere—no delays or hefty logistics costs. ♻️ Address sustainability with local manufacturing and repair-focused production. 🛠️ Cover the entire production process by combining WAAM (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing) and 5-axis CNC milling 🌍 Become independent from infrastructure & external suppliers Whether it’s creating spare parts on-site or meeting the growing demands of flexible manufacturing, METROM's Pentapod machines are paving the way. What’s your take on the shift to mobile and on-demand production?

Tank & vessel modifications in days instead of weeks!❗👇 From pharmaceuticals to food processing, chemical production to cosmetics, industrial vessels and containers are vital to countless sectors. 🚫 The problem: These units sometimes require custom modifications, repairs, or upgrades while in service - work that can disrupt critical operations. ✅ The solution: Pentapod mobile machines can perform the necessary work directly on site with minimal time & costs. They require no foundation, are as accurate as 3 μm and can perform additive as well as subtractive tasks. The video shows a stationary Pentapod used in vessel construction - the mobile version comes in smaller sizes, too. 👉 Construction or modification - where would you use a Pentapod machine?

You should know about this additive repair dream team! 👇 1️⃣ OSCAR-PLT GmbH 's ProFocus: Cutting-edge Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) technology that enables real 3D shaping in multiple spatial directions, making previously impossible repairs a reality. 2️⃣ METROM ’s Pentapods: 5-axis machining centers with exceptional accuracy & flexibility - even in mobile applications. Together, these innovative technologies bring complex repair tasks directly to your site. Metal 3D printing and milling can be performed by the same machine. Are you ready to say goodbye to high repair and maintenance expenses?

Top 5 of innovations at Formnext 2024 by 3Dnatives! 😱 Out of about 850 exhibitors at this year's Formnext, they picked the 5 coolest innovations they could find - and we're one of them. They showed particular interest in the modular concept of our machines: "[Metrom’s] CNC machines can be fitted with a WAAM head, an extrusion head or CNC milling tool for an all-in-one manufacturing solution. Further proof of the increased importance of hybrid manufacturing in the additive manufacturing sector." 👉 Have a look at their video and tell us what you think about the other ideas they featured: https://lnkd.in/dxwhht7e 🙏 Thanks to Elliot Saldukaite and the team at 3Dnatives for spreading the most exciting news of this year's Formnext - Where ideas take shape!

What caught everyone’s attention last week? A parallel kinematics machining center is a rare sight. While many know the concept in theory, most see it as impractical for industrial use. 💡 We’re proving otherwise. Our Pentapods deliver an accuracy up to 3μm, high inherent rigidity and an acceleration of 10m/s². This allows us not just to compete with conventional CNC machines, but to outperform them in key areas. Where traditional solutions reach their limits, we thrive: ➡️ Mobile machining & repair ➡️ Hybrid manufacturing ➡️ High-end customized solutions At Formnext - Where ideas take shape, we showcased our smallest machine in action, post-processing a 3D-printed metal excavator tooth. More developments lie ahead 👉 Follow our page to stay updated and see where we’re heading! And we'd love to hear your thoughts - what was your first impression of a Pentapod?
