About

Welcome to
Big Metal Additive

Founded in 2016, Big Metal Additive (BMA) is an advanced manufacturing company serving aerospace, space, defense, energy, and other demanding industries. From our Colorado facility, we produce large metal parts and components to customer specifications—from early design demonstrations and functional prototypes to replacement parts and production components.

 

BMA was founded to overcome the limitations that have traditionally restricted large-format metal additive manufacturing. Our hybrid manufacturing capabilities, processes, and software workflow address challenges involving scale, complex geometries, dimensional tolerance, surface finish, material selection, and manufacturability.

 

For customers, that capability provides another path when conventional manufacturing presents challenges with lead time, cost, part availability, or design complexity. Whether the requirement is a new design, a testable prototype, an obsolete replacement part, or a production component, BMA applies advanced metal additive manufacturing to meet demanding real-world requirements.

Our Story

Built to Expand What Metal Additive Can Do

Big Metal Additive was founded in 2016 with a clear purpose: address the challenges that were limiting the adoption of large-format metal additive manufacturing.

Traditional additive technologies presented obstacles when applications required greater size and scale, affordable feedstock, dimensional tolerance, smaller feature sizes, improved surface finish, or complex geometries. Just as important, additive manufacturing needed to work within established engineering and manufacturing requirements.

BMA set out to address those limitations by advancing the equipment, processes, and software workflow behind large-format metal additive manufacturing.

Today, those capabilities allow us to support customers across demanding aerospace, space, defense, energy, and industrial applications.

From early design exploration and testable prototypes to replacement parts and production components, our focus remains the same: apply advanced manufacturing where it can solve a real-world problem.

We continue to advance our capabilities around the requirements that matter to our customers—performance, manufacturability, lead time, availability, and cost.
