Move ahead.
Accelerate your additive
journey by breaking barriers.
The power of additive technology to create production parts
and systems with novel functionalities and performance
benefits is highly attractive — but also fundamentally
disruptive. You make complex parts and components with
stringent performance, safety and durability requirements
that carry a significant cost burden.
Yet when you move into additive, many of the parameters
you have relied on in the past no longer apply and you may
be uncertain about the best path forward.
AddWorks from GE Additive helps your
organization successfully navigate its
additive journey.
Our team is intimately familiar with your challenges in
additive because we have experienced the same journey.
We have faced the early difficulties you have and overcome
obstacles you may not have anticipated yet.
AddWorks offers an impressive track record of broad
expertise in design, engineering and materials science
specifically for additive technology.

Create new, disruptive
additive designs.
AddWorks is highly solution-oriented. Our goal
for you is customized answers; we’ll help solve
your problems in the best ways possible for you.
AddWorks imbeds our experts with your team, learning what your
products do now and what you need them to become.
We will help explore product solutions that aim to differentiate
your parts technically and provide significant performance
benefits.
Our assessment can determine if a part is appropriate for additive
or better produced conventionally. We will help illustrate the
economic and performance benefits for your organization.
AddWorks engineers and designers will work alongside your team
and design newly created parts to achieve your goals. This is where
we excel.
The lines between mechanical, thermal, materials and even
electrical engineering go away. AddWorks can design new
complex design geometries, making parts and systems that are
lighter, stronger and more efficient.
Our extensive experience across many industries — working
with multiple additive modalities and operating in a productionlevel
environment — allows AddWorks to bring unique design
innovation unmatched by others.
This is the same team that created and brought many of GE’s
most disruptive additive designs to market.
Within GE, our teams’ applications may

Make innovation a reality
with AddWorks.
GE’s commitment to the additive industry includes more than 1,000 material scientists and
engineers dedicated to inventing and applying the most advanced materials.
After parts have been designed, we accelerate this
innovation further, working together on prototypes and
small-run production to test performance.
When the time is right, we can help you decide how to
fully implement additive in-house — to embrace and
move ahead with the innovative transformation to this
advanced manufacturing technology. Or, if it makes
sense, to connect you with a production partner.
The impact AddWorks will have on your organization
is lasting. We help create an additive mind-set,
collaborating as the team rethinks solutions using
design for additive techniques. The AddWorks team
creates a customized training plan for your organization
to ensure your team can begin to develop additive
innovation on its own. This does not happen overnight,
but AddWorks supports you along the entire journey.
Backed by GE’s vast resources, we
serve customers with exceptional
service and field support, worldwide.
