Immensa Technology Labs
Immensa is a consulting firm that uses modern technologies like additive manufacturing (AM) to dematerialize physical spare parts into the digital, on-demand world known as the cloud. They work closely with major automotive manufacturers, aerospace companies, and other Fortune 500 businesses to supply them with 3D-printed components to help them reduce their operating costs and speed up production.
Immensa Technology Labs, situated in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has secured 7 million USD in a fundraising round of funding from several investors. In 2009, the company launched their first product based on AM technology. They have developed and patented an additive manufacturing process for making moulds for composite parts like engine blocks, transmission components, wing spars and fuselage skins.
This process is a lightweight alternative to traditional mould manufacturing methods. It can be cost-effectively applied to manufacture advanced composite parts that are usually built in succession by hand in large quantities. Making these advanced parts faster for field applications and avoiding the need for expensive pre-production prototypes enables industrial companies to obtain higher profit margins with lower risk.
Immensa is a spin-off of the innovation arm of Mubadala, a significant investment and development company in the United Arab Emirates with international footprints. Along with being involved in $70 billion worth of projects in aerospace, defence, energy and infrastructure industries worldwide, Mubadala is also the owner of Formula 1 team Force India and has a minority stake in Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team.
Immensa is based on its proprietary Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology known as Digital Material Jetting (DMJ). This technology uses industrial-grade inkjet printheads to deposit thermoset polymers onto a moving heated build platform to create complex parts with gradients of material properties. Immensa’s DMJ process builds protective structural parts for composite panels and fuselage skins. These parts are usually built in succession by hand in large quantities. The DMJ process can be cost-effectively applied to manufacture advanced composite parts that are usually built in succession by hand in large quantities. It enables industrial companies to obtain higher profit margins with lower risk and helps them stay at the cutting edge of technology.
