DN Solutions opens its first European Additive Solutions Center in Gütersloh, Germany. The 1,000 m² facility will serve as a hub for AM and CNC technologies, offering training and live demonstrations.
Expanding European Footprint
A year after debuting its first metal additive manufacturing product, DN Solutions has opened its first Additive Solutions Center (ASC) in Europe. The South Korean company — the world's third-largest manufacturer of machine tools — will run its global AM business from the new 1,000 m² site in Gütersloh, Germany.
The company already operates two centres in Changwon, South Korea and Chicago, U.S. The Gütersloh location was chosen for its proximity to key supply chains, educational institutions, and partners.
AM2CNC Approach
The new centre will act as a hub for both additive manufacturing and CNC technologies, offering training sessions, live demonstrations, and support for companies launching or scaling their AM operations.
A range of DN Solutions machines are on site, including the DLX150, DLX450, DNX2100, DVF5000, Lynx2600, and DNM5700. These will be used to process AM components and demonstrate the company's 'AM2CNC' approach — combining additive and subtractive manufacturing technologies.
Long-Term Strategy
DN Solutions describes additive manufacturing as a key element of its long-term corporate strategy. When the company introduced its flagship DLX 450 laser powder bed fusion system last April, CEO Wonjong Kim said that by 2030, DN Solutions is committed to maximising the synergy between additive and subtractive manufacturing technologies.
The company believes its expansion into AM alongside its CNC capabilities will provide an advantage in growth industries such as aerospace, medical technology, and semiconductor sectors.
The opening builds on DN Solutions' recent acquisition of German machine tool manufacturer Heller.
