Making Metals Work - From Repair to Production in One Cell

How SAMP Works

Cold Spray Additive Deposition

High-pressure carrier gas accelerates metal powders through a supersonic nozzle, bonding them to the substrate with metallurgical strength.

Integrated CNC Subtractive Process

Precision milling, turning, or grinding removes
excess material and creates final dimensions to aerospace or defense tolerances.

Automated Dust Collection & Quality Control

Acoustical booth, wet-type filtration, and in-cell inspection ensure a safe, clean, and compliant operation.

Cold Spray + CNC Machining = Complete Manufacturing Solution

Key Benefits

Repair & Build in One Setup

Eliminate transfer between multiple processes.

Structural Strength

Cold spray bonds achieve up to wrought material properties.

Wide Material Compatibility

Works with aluminum, titanium, stainless, nickel alloys, and carbides.

Lower Costs, Faster Turnaround

Reduce lead times and avoid part replacement.

The ROI of SAMP

Extend Asset Life

Repair worn or corroded components to like-new condition, eliminating unnecessary replacements and extending service life.

Reduce Downtime

In-house or on-site repair capability shortens turnaround times from weeks to days, keeping critical assets in service.

Increase Throughput & Quality

Additive and subtractive processes in one cell cut handling steps, improve accuracy, and maintain OEM-level tolerances.

Create New Revenue Streams

Expand your service portfolio by offering premium restoration or net-shape manufacturing without outsourcing.
