Overview
ODeCon engineering GmbH holds a leading position in metal 3D printing technology, particularly through the development and commercialization of the innovative adAM 3D printers. The core technology, based on the EHLA process, enables the faster, more precise, and more sustainable production and reworking of metal parts, providing a significant competitive advantage over all other metal 3D printing methods.
Legacy
Founded in 2012 by Dipl.-Wirtsch.-Ing. Oliver Schulte, ODeCon has grown from a sole proprietorship into ODeCon engineering GmbH. The company’s focus on automation technology accounts for 50% of its revenue, with customized solutions such as fixtures and assembly machines for the electronics, plastics, and packaging industries.
In 2016, ODeCon began developing an innovative metal 3D printer concept based on EHLA technology, leading to the construction of the adAM-PRO in 2022—the world’s fastest DED 5-axis metal 3D printer with a multi-tool changer for laser-based processes.
In 2024, ODeCon is launching the adAM-RD, a unique 14-axis 3D printer for metal and plastic powders or wires, equipped with X-ray measurement for real-time material development.
By late 2024, ODeCon will introduce an entry-level metal 5-axis DED 3D printer, leveraging the versatile adAM-PRO technology for efficient serial production.
