Additive Engineering Solutions

Additive Engineering Solutions (AES) was founded in 2016 as the world's first contract manufacturer to offer Large Scale 3D Printing Services.
Utilizing Cincinnati's BAAM Additive Manufacturing Technology, AES has positioned themselves as a leader in their field while working with some of the largest manufacturing companies in the world.
Technology improvement and application development is at the forefront of what AES does as this industry continues to grow by leaps and bounds.
Our core focus is on the complete fabrication of Tooling & Molds for a variety of industries as well as unique large scale mock ups and prototypes.

In order for a part or tool to be printed, it must be engineered and optimized for the printing process.
AES has degreed engineers on staff to provide this service.
The Cincinnati BAAM system is one of the few 3D printers available today that is compatible with open source materials.
This ability to process such a wide range of materials enables us to work with not only the most economical, but some of the highest performance polymers, as well as create solutions using materials that have never been printed before.

Although many projects may fall into a few select material choices, there are times where the application is specific enough where new, sometimes untested material, is required.
Also, common materials are constantly being improved for printability, enhanced performance, and economics.
DEVELOPMENT: AES has ran and processed over 50 variations of materials and has expertise in helping material companies develop and provide feedback on a number of different performance factors.
These relationships have allowed AES to provide customers with unique material solutions when needed.

CNC Machining plays an integral role in the production of printed tools and parts.
Most everything that is printed ends up being finished on a CNC to allow for a greater degree of accuracy and smoother finish.
Aside from finishing 3D printed parts, AES also machines traditional materials for tools and molds as well as for prototyping.
This extra capability provides our customers' more choices for the optimal solution.
AES is the leader in large format additive manufacturing services for both tooling and large scale prototyping.

AES was the first company to bring together Large Format Additive Manufacturing and Tool & Mold services to market, starting primarily in Aerospace & Defense.
Large Scale 3D Printing is revolutionizing the Tooling Industry.
With quick turnaround and the use of economic materials that can withstand the demanding requirements of tooling applications, 3D printed tooling is a great way to get your product to market quickly.
Thermoplastic tooling is a great option for layup tools when you need something more durable than tooling board but not as expensive as aluminum or steel.
