What Precision ADM does

Precision ADM Inc. is a Winnipeg, Manitoba-based metal additive manufacturing service provider founded in 2015, operating certified production facilities in Winnipeg and Gatineau, Quebec. The company uses laser powder bed fusion (LPBF/DMLS) additive printing combined with multi-axis robotic CNC post-processing, heat treatment, and metallurgical validation under its proprietary Advanced Digital Manufacturing® (ADM®) process to produce titanium, cobalt-chrome, Inconel, and additional alloy components for medical device OEMs, aerospace manufacturers, defense contractors, and industrial customers. It holds ISO 13485:2016, AS9100 Rev D, and ISO 9001:2015 certifications, is FDA establishment registered, and operates within Canada's ITAR-recognized Controlled Goods Program, and was the first Canadian metal AM service provider to achieve ISO 13485 medical certification (2017) and the first to combine medical and aerospace certifications.

Revenue is generated through three interlocking streams: (i) custom metal AM services sold direct via enterprise field sales on a quote-based, multi-year contract model with 48-hour quote response commitments; (ii) verticalized industry solutions spanning orthopedic/spinal implants and patient-matched devices, aerospace structural and engine components, defense legacy-part replacement, and industrial tooling/fixturing; and (iii) complementary medical hardware products including CANSWAB™ nasopharyngeal swabs, Viraloc® procedural masks (Levels 1/2/3), and Precision AIR™ reusable N95 masks. Go-to-market relies on technical trade shows (Hannover Messe, Cansec, Global Energy Show, OMTEC, NASS), webinars, published white papers on DfAM and topology optimization, and direct engineering consultation.

In January 2026, Precision ADM (via its U.S. brand Precision Additive) launched the PA-300 metal LPBF system — featuring proprietary SSLM laser technology with claimed build speeds up to 10× conventional systems and AI-enabled real-time process monitoring supported through an NVIDIA collaboration — marking a strategic transition from a pure contract manufacturer to a hybrid services-plus-equipment vendor targeting defense, aerospace, energy, and medical applications.

Core offering

Precision ADM provides contract metal additive manufacturing services, combining Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) / Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) with multi-axis CNC post-processing to produce certified metal components for the medical, aerospace, defense, and industrial sectors. Engagements run from DfAM engineering and topology optimization through printing, heat treatment, finishing, and metallurgical verification. The company also sells its own branded consumable medical products (CANSWAB nasopharyngeal swabs, Viraloc masks, Precision AIR respirators) and the PA-300 metal LPBF system.

Product overview

Precision ADM offers Advanced Digital Manufacturing® (ADM®), a proprietary integrated platform combining metal additive manufacturing (DMLS/3D printing) with subtractive CNC machining and post-processing services. The company's core offering includes design support, engineering, manufacturing, and finishing under one unified process. They operate dedicated equipment for Titanium and Cobalt Chrome materials and serve four primary industry verticals: Medical (ISO 13485:2016 certified), Aerospace (AS9100 certified), Defense (ITAR compliant), and Industrial. The portfolio also includes specialized products like Viraloc procedural masks and CANSWAB™ nasopharyngeal swabs. A recent addition is the PA-300 Metal LPBF System featuring proprietary SSLM laser technology with AI-powered real-time monitoring, developed in collaboration with NVIDIA, targeting high-speed metal additive manufacturing for defense, aerospace, energy, and medical applications.
