Imagine complex high-integrity components, without joints or welds, from design to finished product in a matter of weeks. Proxima combines Powder Metallurgy (PM) and Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) to realise this possibility, creating near-net-shaped parts without the need for bespoke tooling. The result is a reduction in costs, resources and lead times whilst maximising design flexibility.
Proxima’s technology is trusted by leading businesses in the most highly regulated, quality-demanding industries.

The fluorescent lights of the university library hummed a low, indifferent tune. To anyone else, it was the sound of late-night studying. To Riku Tanaka, a third-year mechanical engineering student, it was the sound of a challenge. Spread before him on the large wooden table was not a textbook, but a single, immense sheet of handmade Japanese washi paper. It was a perfect square, one meter on each side, the color of a winter sky just before snow.
This was the moment of truth. Riku took a deep breath, his heart thumping against his ribs. He pinched two corners of the huge sheet and began to push. The paper didn't just fold; it reorganized .
