DDM Systems is an Atlanta-based additive manufacturing and 3D printing startup, established in 2012 by Suman Das and John Halloran. The company's slogan "Direct Digital Manufacturing - disrupting investment casting" encapsulates its mission to revolutionize the investment casting process.
DDM Systems has developed two groundbreaking manufacturing technologies, LAMP™ and SLE™, with immediate applications in the aerospace and industrial gas turbines sectors. LAMP™ enables the tool-less, on-demand, and affordable direct digital manufacturing (DDM) of ceramic cores and integral-cored shell molds for investment casting. These are crucial for producing high-precision, high-performance turbine engine hot-section components such as airfoils. On the other hand, SLE™ achieves a breakthrough in the manufacture and repair of high-value turbine engine hot-section components made of non-weldable superalloys, surpassing existing metal additive techniques. DDM Systems plans to deliver commercial systems for both technologies in 2015.
The company's focus on disrupting the industrial and manufacturing sectors aligns with the increasing need for advanced manufacturing solutions. With the growing demand for their technologies, DDM Systems presents an attractive opportunity for venture capitalists looking to invest in cutting-edge manufacturing innovations.
