Pioneering technologies for a future of sustainable manufacturing

First time right - every time

With Procada’s patent pending closed-loop control solution it is now possible to monitor and control key process variables during the entire deposition process. This will ensure specified material integrity and geometrical tolerances throughout the printed part, every time.

We offer reliability, robustness and repeatability

Why closed-loop control? Directed Energy Deposition process requires around 25 parameters to be set before a deposition sequence can take place. During deposition however the process will inevitably experience disturbances which needs to be compensated for if material integrity is to be ensured. We take pride in having developed a process monitoring and control solution fully capable of handling the non-linear dynamics of the deposition process and the harsh melt pool environment.

Reliability

Working with additive manufacturing and high-power lasers for over a decade we know how to build durable equipment that can withstand even the toughest of applications.

Robustness

Long before a disturbance becomes critical to your process, we are able to measure it and correct for it, keeping your application within the defined process window at all times.

Repeatability

Procada’s closed-loop process control solutions enables you to achieve first-time-right, every time. This is quality assurance at its best.
