Streamline Your Production Process with Additive Manufacturing Experts

VBN Components has created a range of 3D printed, extremely hard, wear and heat resistant metals, to be used for components in demanding applications. Compared to traditional materials, they consistently deliver enhanced performance to applications and significantly prolong the lifetime of components.

Whether you need one part or several, we can produce your components in-house, according to your 3D CAD drawing.

We can also provide you with a licence to produce in your own premises. We deliver customised additive manufacturing services and high-quality components. With VBN Components AB, you gain access to cutting-edge technology and a reliable partner to take your production to the next level.

Our Services

Pre-studies

We recommend all our customers to start with a pre-study to increase the chances for a successful first-time delivery of a new part.

Engineering services

We support our customers with advanced engineering projects where we apply Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) principles.

Manufacturing services

We 3D print fully functional prototypes with Vibenite® materials, which minimises lead-time and costs. Small batch and Serial production are also available.

Post-treatment

We offer a vast number of post-treatment services such as:hot isostatic pressing (HIP), hardening, soft annealing, grinding, machining (EDM, turning, milling, tumbling, etc.), PVD coating.

About Us

VBN Components is located in the University town of Uppsala, Sweden, a place that more than once has generated valuable innovations. We like to think we have contributed by creating a range of 3D printed alloys with very high carbide content back when everyone else considered this “impossible”.

Today we have shown in many applications that our Vibenite® alloys can increase wear and fatigue resistance, and through this also lower your production costs. Add to this an optimum use of recycled raw materials, and you will be far away from the environmental footprint your traditional metal components leave.

Customer Testimonials

"At ORKLA Confectionery & Snacks we strive to improve every part of our operations when possible. Vibenite® alloys have increased the wear resistance and lifetime for some of our most demanding components in these aspects, which helps us reach our goal of continuous improvement."

“VBN has produced punches and dies in Vibenite® 150, which perform about 50% better than the previous ones in a top, traditional PM cutting steel, and still at a very competitive price. They are used for die-cutting doctor blades (a.k.a. duct blades or squeegees) of high-quality Swedish steel, that are used to remove excess paint from anilox rolls in the printing process in the packaging industry globally.“
