Core customers span automotive, aerospace, defense, medical device, energy, and general industrial OEMs that depend on tight tolerances and high uptime. Key risks include cyclical capital spending, raw material and component volatility, export controls (ITAR), safety mandates (OSHA), environmental compliance (EPA around coolants and emissions), and tariffs that influence pricing power. In 2024-2025, the sector is shaped by reshoring and nearshoring, deeper automation with robotics and palletized systems, digital twins and AI-driven toolpath optimization, hybrid additive-subtractive platforms, and sustainability pushes for energy-efficient drives and coolant recycling.
