Message from the President

Pioneering your dreams with AM technology

It’s been more than 30 years since I first encountered AM technology in 1986 and involved in developing technology and commercializing it as a business since.

I focused on Selective Laser Sintering technology while various new AM technologies have emerged since late ‘80’s.

Today, SLS technology is called Power Bed Fusion technology and has become the mainstream of AM technology accounting for more than 50% of machine sales and approximately 40% of material sales.

ASPECT founded in 1996 will keep running as a top runner in AM technology.

We will keep challenging on new R&D and contribute to the development of AM Technology.
