Expressing delight over the opening of the new center, Reid Southby, President at GKN Sinter Metals Large Segment said, “We are excited to start a new journey in Auburn Hills with a space that is dedicated to our team, our community and the advanced technology we create for our customers”.

“This building reinforces our commitment to the North American market and continued global growth,” added Mr. Southby.

The building includes a 3,200 square foot AM Customer Center, equipped with two EOS M290 Direct Metal Laser Sinter (DMLS) printers. The DMLS machines incorporate powder bed fusion technology, creating functional prototypes within a two-week lead time and allowing customers to test factors such as usability, ergonomics, manufacturability and materials in the early stages of the development process.
