Vertex Manufacturing Partners with Xerox® Elem™ Additive Solutions to Provide Aluminum 3D Printing to Industrial Customer Base

By: via Business Wire

Vertex to install Xerox® ElemX™3D Printer at Cincinnati facility

Xerox® Elem™ Additive Solutions and trusted industrial manufacturer, Vertex Manufacturing - A PrinterPrezz Company, today announced an agreement to add the Xerox® ElemX™ 3D Printer to Vertex’s Cincinnati facility and begin offering contract manufacturing services with Xerox’s liquid metal capabilities.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220210005280/en/

The ElemX leverages Xerox’s liquid metal technology that uses cost-effective aluminum wire and is easily deployed, requiring no special facility modifications for operation. Unlike many metal 3D printing technologies, the ElemX requires minimal post-processing and therefore provides a faster time-to-part. By adding the ElemX to its existing fleet of advanced manufacturing technologies, Vertex bolsters its capabilities and becomes a valuable addition to the Xerox® Elem™ Additive Solutions Manufacturing Partner Network.

“Our business is committed to delivering products and services that meet or exceed our customers’ quality and schedule requirements,” says Tim Warden, vice president of sales & marketing at Vertex. “We decided to partner with Xerox because the ElemX technology gives us an added advantage to build parts faster and more reliably for our customers.”

The ElemX 3D Printer was commercially introduced in February 2021, and over the past year, Elem Additive Solutions has grown significantly, including opening an Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence in Cary, NC. This contract manufacturing agreement with Vertex is another important milestone for Xerox.

“The relationship with Vertex enables our Elem Additive business to scale and support our customers better than before,” said Tali Rosman, Elem Additive general manager and vice president at Xerox. “Between the two organizations, there are decades of experience in advanced manufacturing, so we are thrilled to push the limits of this technology together.”

ElemX is a safer and simpler metal 3D printing technology addressing supply chain resiliency for transportation, aerospace, defense and industrial manufacturing. Until now, the ability to 3D print aluminum consistently and reliably has challenged the market. Unlike other metal 3D printing technologies, there are no hazardous metal powders with ElemX and no need for PPE or other considerable safety measures. Engineered to bring simplicity to the supply chain process, ElemX is the ideal option for spares, repairs and low-volume production parts.

“ElemX takes all the benefits of 3D printing and makes it easier than ever before for manufacturers to use metal additive manufacturing,” said Rosman. “This is the next step in our journey, and we plan to continue advancing our vision for more resilient supply chains in 2022 working with partners like Vertex.”
