Incus

Incus is an Austrian industrial technology manufacturer specialising in the development of metal additive manufacturing systems. The company operates as a tier supplier within the aerospace value chain, providing hardware and proprietary processing solutions for the production of complex, high-precision metallic components. Their technology focuses on Lithography-based Metal Manufacturing (LMM), a process designed to achieve high surface quality and dimensional accuracy for small to medium-sized parts that are difficult to produce via traditional machining or casting. The organisation’s primary output includes the Hammer series of printing platforms, which are utilised for prototyping and low-volume production of intricate components. While specific aerospace contract values are not public, the company’s systems are positioned for use in the manufacturing of propulsion components, heat exchangers, and specialised brackets. They maintain technical partnerships with research institutions and material science firms to validate the mechanical properties of sintered parts for flight applications. Prospective partners should verify the specific material compatibility of the LMM process for their required alloys, particularly regarding density and fatigue strength. Buyers should also evaluate the post-processing requirements, including debinding and sintering cycles, to ensure the total production timeline meets project specifications. Verification of existing aerospace quality certifications and the scalability of the technology for high-volume serial production is recommended.
