We build smart machines
From the industrial roots of our founding partner companies, Michelin and Fives, to technology built for the future, AddUp machines provide innovative solutions to manufacturers’ real production challenges.
Proud heritage
AddUp combines Michelin’s expertise in industrial part manufacturing with Fives’ expertise in industrial machine design. We understand the world of manufacturing because we were born from it.
Proven track record
Our machines are repeatable and reliable. Every day, parts produced on AddUp machines are used in satellites, aircraft, trains and automobiles.
Better surface finish
Thanks to our roller recoater technology, you achieve more complex parts with a smoother surface finish and fewer supports.
Open parameter machines
Some competitors keep the workings of their machines secret, but we don’t. Do more with our open platform and adjust the parameters as you see fit.
Safer powder handling
Our Autonomous Powder Module takes care of the full powder management, limiting operator exposure to hazardous or reactive materials.
Quality assurance software
Our comprehensive suite of AM software offers full traceability to provide you with increased confidence in part quality.
