Nupress, a leading manufacturer of precision machined components, is providing local manufacturers with access to WarpSEE3D printers in a unique subscription model from SPEE3D

The subscription model will deliver SPEE3D’s patented cold-spray technology to Nupress’ existing clients in the mining, building, aerospace, defence, and medical industries, as well as other Australian manufacturers. 

Through the model, manufacturers will be able to harness the machine’s capabilities at Nupress’ Australian headquarters without having to lease or purchase the cold-spray technology. 

The subscription will also provide business owners with the opportunity to source parts locally and quickly from a selection of 12 different metals. 

The partnership between Nupress and SPEE3D is intended to streamline the process of manufacturing parts instead of spending weeks or months waiting using other supply chains. 

With metal parts now available locally, manufacturing companies will be able to improve their operations and reduce costs after having been negatively impacted by global supply chain headwinds, SPEE3D said in a media release

The subscription model offers one to six slots, each providing 25 hours per month of printing per annum. 

“Democratizing access to SPEE3D’s WarpSPEED printer will help solve real-world problems around broken supply chains, manufacturing challenges, and massive delays for some of the world’s most significant industries,” said Steven Camilleri, co-founder and chief technology officer of SPEE3D.

“Local Australian companies can now access our technology thanks to Nupress, enabling smaller production runs, prototyping needs, material developments, and other advanced manufacturing capabilities,” Camilleri added. 

“For decades, Nupress has discussed turning our customers’ printing visions into reality, and we are excited to partner with SPEE3D to offer a best-in-class solution for metal additive manufacturing. Beyond the exceptional technology, SPEE3D shares our ‘first class’ commitment to developing new printing materials that will broaden the opportunities across many industries and applications,” said Craig McWilliam, chief executive officer of Nupress.
