What will Fastech show in Frankfurt?
Fastech exhibits at Booth F139 on the AMUK Pavilion, Hall 12.0, from 17 to 20 November. The booth will hold real WAAM and laser wire DED parts made for aerospace, defence, energy and oil and gas, from large structures to parts with finer features. The United Kingdom is Formnext's partner country in 2026, with Additive Manufacturing UK running the national pavilion.
Which capabilities does the company describe?
The robotic WAAM cell handles parts up to 2,700 kg in a working volume of 1300 x 1300 x 1400 mm, with deposition rates of 0.5 to 2.5 kg/hr, alongside 5-axis WAAM systems for large structures. Laser wire DED covers finer features, titanium and repair work, using systems with blue and infrared lasers.
Printed blanks are finished on 3 and 5-axis CNC machines and checked on a CMM and by 3D scanning against CAD. Non-destructive, mechanical and metallurgical testing and heat treatment including HIP run through partner networks. Fastech works under an AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 quality system, is ITAR registered, and claims lead time gains of up to 10x. A new EDM system is due to join its finishing capacity, to be revealed later.
Where does Fastech speak?
Daniel Pulscher, Additive Technology Manager, joins an energy and oil and gas panel on Wednesday 18 November, 11:10 to 12:00, on the Industry & Application Stage. On Thursday 19 November he presents on moving directed energy deposition from qualification to production for certified aerospace, defence and energy parts, with the time still open.
The talk draws on US programmes in titanium and high-nickel alloys and covers repeatability controls, metallurgical validation, hybrid additive and subtractive chains, DfAM and build planning, in line with emerging ASTM standards.
