About us
About us
Aumatis is a technology company based near Munich, Germany, founded by Christoph and Felix. Christoph holds a doctorate from TUM in Additive Manufacturing, and Felix is completing his doctorate in robotics.
As engineers, we have worked with nearly every additive fabrication technology available. Over time, we became frustrated by a recurring bottleneck: while desktop plastic printing had become simple and accessible, producing custom metal parts was still slow, complex, and expensive. We had to wait more than a week for external suppliers or dealing with complex, hazardous in-house systems.
So we decided to build a better solution. We developed a system that automates the most complex steps of metal casting, from burnout and casting to cooldown. Today, our technology is already running at industrial customer sites. AX-150 and AX-160 are in use across industries, from automotive and defence to microtechnology.
We are participating in the Formnext! Hall 12. 1 Booth D71
