Manufacturing for critical industries
Located in one of the world's leading engineering hubs, our Houston facility provides large-scale metal 3D printing through Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). Combined with hybrid manufacturing, it enables the efficient production of high-integrity components for defence, energy, maritime and industrial applications.
Large-scale production capability
Single-arm WAAM systems manufacture metal components up to 3m in diameter, supported by single-axis and two-axis manipulators for larger and more complex components. Together, they provide a flexible manufacturing platform for large-format metal components.
Quality assurance
Every project is supported by controlled manufacturing processes, in-process inspection and full traceability. Houston is ISO 9001 certified and holds DNV Approval in Principle (AiP), with Approval of Manufacture currently in progress.
End-to-end project support
From design optimisation and process development through to WAAM production, inspection and delivery, our Houston team supports every stage of the manufacturing process, backed by the engineering expertise of DEEP Manufacturing's Bristol Centre of Excellence.
Supporting resilient manufacturing supply chains
Manufacturers across defence, energy, maritime and other critical industries are increasingly seeking alternatives to traditional casting and forging. For low-volume production, obsolete components and complex geometries, these processes often involve long lead times and dedicated tooling.
Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) provides an alternative route, producing large-scale metal components in around a third of the time of conventional methods. Combined with hybrid manufacturing, it provides an efficient route from concept to finished component.
Located in Houston, one of the world's leading engineering and energy hubs, our North American facility provides responsive engineering support backed by DEEP Manufacturing's global manufacturing network, helping customers reduce lead times and strengthen supply chain resilience.

Houston capabilities
Four robotic WAAM systems support large-scale metal additive manufacturing across single-arm, single-axis and two-axis configurations. These systems provide flexible production capability for low-volume, high-integrity metal components.
More systems are planned for install throughout 2026.
Single-arm systems manufacture components up to 9.8ft (3m) in diameter, while single-axis and two-axis manipulators support the production of larger, more complex geometries for demanding industrial applications.
Multi-robot systems can also be configured to produce components up to around 19.7ft (6m) in diameter.
Our 50,995 sq ft Houston facility combines robotic WAAM systems, heavy lifting capability and dedicated production space. The site provides the infrastructure to manufacture and handle large-scale metal components safely and efficiently.
Our Houston engineering team works alongside customers throughout each project, supported by the specialist manufacturing, metallurgy and process development expertise of DEEP Manufacturing's Bristol Centre of Excellence.
Current manufacturing capability includes carbon steels, Inconel 625 and stainless steel 316L, supporting a range of high-integrity applications. Our material portfolio continues to expand in line with customer and industry requirements.
