Bridging bold ideas and dependable delivery.
Ambitious design teams push materials and geometries to the edge. Procurement teams need supply chain reliability, documentation, and compliance. Multiscale Systems delivers both.
By combining wire-laser directed energy deposition (DED) with precision CNC machining, we create fully-dense, inspection-ready components in alloys that withstand heat, wear, and corrosion. Our hybrid manufacturing process reduces lead times, simplifies supply chains, and produces data packages that stand up in nuclear QA reviews.
Capability Pillars
Engineering Integrity
Complex geometries, dissimilar material transitions, and optimized alloys, manufactured for durability, repairability, and high-value performance.
Procurement Confidence
ISO 9001 / AS9100 certified, CMMC Level 2, ITAR-ready. Every order includes full traveler history, traceable materials, and inspection records.
Program Alignment
A single accountable supplier for design feasibility, first article qualification, and production release. Predictable schedules, auditable results.
Vertical Integration
Engineering and manufacturing under one roof.
Our co-located facility in central Massachusetts efficiently delivers combined design, engineering, and manufacturing for a seamless and simplified procurement process.
Manufacturing
Additive flexibility. Subtractive precision. One system.
Consistent, high-tolerance results with single-setup additive and subtractive manufacturing.
Hybrid Manufacturing
Multiscale’s hybrid systems use wire-laser DED as the additive method, chosen for its advantages over powder-based methods. Lasers melt wire feedstock, building up layers to create a preform. Subtraction is handled by an integrated 3- or 5-axis CNC for precision shaping and finishing.
Hybrid processes enable near-net preform builds directly in the CNC, replacing the long lead times of forgings and the defect risks of castings. Single-setup machining streamlines quality control while attaining precision parts.
Efficiency
Fully dense, void-free builds using common welding wire feedstock—not powder.
Additive builds mean minimal material waste for more effective use of high-performance materials.
Accommodates low volume runs without tooling overheads of conventional manufacturing.
Versatility
Create not only new parts, but repair, refurbish, or modify existing ones.
Dual print heads enable seamless multi-alloy printing and functional grading for targeted functionality.
Wide range of feedstock options, including heat-resistance superalloys.
Innovation
Push performance boundaries with complex geometries and integrated systems.
Rapid prototyping for a faster first article.
Value-added engineering options, including integrated laser serialization.
What We Make
Components for nuclear and energy applications.
- Bearings (high-temp, corrosion-resistant)
- Housings and enclosures
- Valve bodies and manifolds

- Dissimilar material overlays and welded transitions (e.g., Ni-base to tool steels, cobalt hardfaces, stainless transitions)
Materials
High-performance materials for high-performance parts.
Heat-resistant superalloys are often rejected due to their expense, supply chain instability, and processing difficulty. We routinely work with nickel- and cobalt-based superalloys, including Inconel® 625 and 718.
The benefits of these high-performance alloys are readily accessible due to the capabilities of wire-laser hybrid manufacturing, including near-net builds, targeted multi-material application, and reliable feedstock supplies.
