PolyCSAM is a unique technology platform that closes the gap between the lab & a full-scale manufacturing environment by:

• De-risking the development & validation phase for its clients
• Reducing the time-to-deployment and time-to-market of the solutions developed
• Allowing the fabrication of full-scale prototypes & components for validation, certification, and / or demonstration purposes
• Allowing the manufacture or repair of large structural components through the synergetic use of multiple cutting-edge technologies
• Offering advanced personnel training
• Offering production backup/overload services

NRC’s reputation in the relevant areas of cold spray, robotic machining, artificial intelligence and advanced materials is well established. This vast expertise, combined with Polycontrols’ reputation and concrete achievements in the field of thermal/cold spray and robotics represents a major asset for manufacturers who automatically get access to a pool of more than 60 experts in the field.

The Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing process has several advantages over other 3D printing techniques:

• No part size restrictions
• No HAZ (Heat Affected Zone), so no damage to substrate or part
• Multi-materials capability
• Can be fully robotized
• Batch production: from rapid prototyping to cost-effective manufacturing.
• High deposit rate (several kg/h)
• Build on existing parts
• Customization of components produced by traditional/Mass production methods
• Easily combined with conventional techniques such as machining & forging
• Promoting a circular economy thanks to a Sustainable Process
