The technology
Shape raw material. Reduce machining time and material waste.
Sindri is focused on reducing material waste and machining time in manufacturing industries. We have developed a new process called Proxiblokk — a hybrid between classical powder metallurgy and additive manufacturing. This enables us to rapidly produce near-net shapes at 250 ml/minute, equivalent to approximately 2 kg of steel per minute or 625 g of aluminium. We can also create specialty materials by blending powders to achieve gradients and distinct material properties, delivering the same mechanical performance as conventionally manufactured parts.
PM powder — widely available, quality controlled
NNS raw stock → minimal CNC finishing
Applications
Near-Net Shape technology applied to real manufacturing challenges.
Market Opportunity
Almost all manufacturing deals with metal cutting, CNC machining, in some part of the production chain. It can be in individual components or in, for example, moulds for plastic covers or specific production tool etc.
CNC Machining
85% Material Waste
The Problem
Many components are machined from a raw material where typically 85% of the material is cut away. Machine time, tooling cost and material cost will be high. The cut material is sent for recycling, but even those processes are expensive and energy-intensive.
Our Approach
Our solution produces raw material billets for CNC machining that are shaped so that the percentage of machining can be minimized. The process is based on proven powder metallurgy, but with a key difference: instead of requiring custom dies for each geometry, our process builds NNS billets layer by layer from small pressed volumes — like building with Lego blocks. This enables rapid changeover between materials and geometries without tooling costs.

vs
28 kg
NNS Billet → 3 kg Swarf
From 75% Waste to Near-Net Shape
A case study made starts with an 100 kg metal block. After 7.5 hours of machining, they've created 75 kg of metal swarf — just to produce a final component weighing 25 kg.
With Sindri's NNS solution, they would start with a 28 kg billet. Only 3 kg would need to be machined away, taking just over one hour — a 5× capacity increase.
