The company has developed what's it's calling the "H-Series" lab-scale manufacturing system combining additive, subtractive, and post-processing capabilities in a single build environment.

It's an extremely flexible design and supports the ability to prototype a vast range of products, parts, and concepts for almost any industry, educational institution or even technically inclined artists.
