Thrustworks Additive Manufacturing GmbH has implemented another TruPrint 3000 system at its Mönchengladbach site to enhance production capacity for aerospace-related metallic components. This expansion is part of The Exploration Company's acquisition of Thrustworks in November 2025, aimed at consolidating manufacturing expertise in North Rhine-Westphalia for the aerospace and defense sectors.

The new machine, under the ATLIX brand, offers capabilities such as a cylindrical installation space of 300 by 400 mm and preheating up to 200 degrees Celsius. The facility combines all manufacturing processes, ensuring stability and quality for high-performance materials like C103 niobium and Inconel 718.
