Expeditionary Manufacturing Unit
Print, post-process, and test metal parts on-site
Total on-site manufacturing
Our Expeditionary Manufacturing Unit (EMU) makes it possible to accelerate equipment repair and produce cast-equivalent parts faster than ever thought possible.
- Containerized, ruggedized, and easy to deploy
- Metal properties equal or superior to their cast counterparts
- No extensive training or complex infrastructure required
- XSPEE3D
- SPEE3DCell

A Powerful Combination
The EMU is comprised of two components: our XSPEE3D printer and our SPEE3DCell post-processing and testing unit. Together, they give you everything you need to print, post-process, and test metal parts in the field or the factory—reducing your reliance on supply chains.
SPEE3DCell
SPEE3Dcell puts everything you need to heat treat, machine, and test SPEE3D parts in the field in a 20-foot container with twist locks. It includes a heat treatment furnace, a CNC three-axis mill, tooling, and testing equipment.
• Enable faster, lower-cost, more scalable production
• Transport with NATO in-service vehicles in a single 20-ft container
• Leverage the ideal complement to XSPEE3D in the field
