Excelencia Tech

What Excelencia Tech does

Excelencia Tech is a Portuguese manufacturing-sector company, founded in 2021 and headquartered in Leiria, Portugal. Operating under the trade name "Excelencia Tech Metal," the company does not develop or manufacture proprietary 3D printing hardware; rather, it functions as a regional distribution and support partner within the metal additive manufacturing (AM) ecosystem. Its operations center on the Iberian Peninsula, covering Spain and Portugal.

The company's core offering is the Solukon AT350 automated depowdering machine, which it distributes as the official Solukon partner for Iberia. The AT350 addresses post-processing bottlenecks in metal AM by automating the removal of residual powder from parts with complex internal geometries — particularly relevant for heat exchanger components. Excelencia Tech provides localized equipment acquisition, deployment support, and ongoing service to metal AM service bureaus and industrial end users in the region.

Excelencia Tech generates revenue through hardware sales via its channel partnership with Solukon, with quote-based pricing on equipment transactions. Its primary customer segment is enterprise metal additive manufacturing providers, with MADIT (Zamudio, Spain) named as a disclosed end-user customer that purchased two AT350 units. The business model is fundamentally a regional value-added distribution play, with revenue mechanics tied to capital equipment sales cycles rather than recurring software or service contracts. With 1-10 employees and no disclosed funding rounds, the company operates as a lean distribution entity rather than a technology developer.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves3 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Others

• Materialise NV: Materialise is a large AM service bureau and software provider offering industrial 3D printing services across Europe. It is an adjacent peer because Iberian manufacturers outsourcing metal AM parts (including heat exchangers similar to MADIT's work) represent the same demand pool that drives Solukon AT350 sales through Excelencia Tech.

Broad incumbents

• EOS GmbH: EOS is a broad incumbent in industrial metal and polymer AM systems, selling directly and through channel partners across Europe including Iberia. It is comparable because the same Iberian manufacturers considering Solukon AT350 depowdering are also evaluating EOS printers, and EOS's distribution model competes with Excelencia Tech's channel positioning.
• TRUMPF (Additive Manufacturing): TRUMPF sells TruPrint metal AM systems and related automation into European industrial markets, including Iberia. It is a broad incumbent peer because its end customers are the same metal AM service bureaus and OEMs that Excelencia Tech approaches with Solukon post-processing equipment.
• Renishaw plc: Renishaw sells metal AM systems and post-processing auxiliaries to industrial customers in Iberia. It is a broad incumbent peer because its Iberian customer base overlaps with Excelencia Tech's target accounts and it sometimes supplies competing depowdering workflows alongside its printers.

Regional players

• Meltio: Meltio is a Spanish (Málaga) metal AM systems manufacturer selling DED and wire-laser systems to Iberian industrial customers. It is a relevant regional peer because it shares Excelencia Tech's Iberian customer base of metal AM service bureaus and OEMs, and is itself part of the Iberian AM equipment ecosystem.
• BCN3D Technologies: BCN3D is a Barcelona-based AM equipment manufacturer serving industrial and professional customers in Iberia and internationally. It is a regional peer because it operates in the same Iberian AM buyer market and faces similar distribution and channel dynamics that Excelencia Tech manages with Solukon.

Direct peers

• Solukon Maschinenbau GmbH: Solukon is the principal supplier of Excelencia Tech, manufacturing the AT350 and other automated depowdering systems for metal AM. It is the most directly comparable company because Excelencia Tech's entire revenue is generated by reselling Solukon's products, making Solukon both partner and closest functional peer.
• AM Solutions - 3D post-processing technology: AM Solutions (a Rösler Group brand) manufactures automated post-processing equipment for additive manufacturing, including depowdering and surface finishing systems sold into the same industrial buyer base as Solukon. It is a direct competitor on the equipment side that any Iberian distributor like Excelencia Tech would need to address.
• PostProcess Technologies: PostProcess Technologies builds automated post-processing systems (depowdering, surface finishing) for AM parts, targeting the same customer pain points as Solukon's AT350. It is a direct global competitor in the AM post-processing equipment category that Excelencia Tech's principals compete against.

Emerging players

• Additive Manufacturing Technologies Ltd (AMT): AMT develops automated post-processing equipment and chemistry for metal and polymer AM parts, overlapping with Solukon's AT350 in the depowdering step. It is an emerging equipment peer that Iberian AM service bureaus may evaluate alongside Solukon offerings distributed by Excelencia Tech.
