About VAHDET
An engineering partner, not a print shop
VAHDET Additive Manufacturing is the industrial additive manufacturing business of the Vahdet group, an Istanbul-based family group founded in 1986. Our focus: helping engineering teams in aerospace, unmanned systems, robotics and industry turn CAD data into reliable polymer parts.

Why additive manufacturing
Advanced hardware needs a shorter path from design to part
Teams developing aerospace hardware, unmanned systems and robots iterate quickly, count every gram and design geometry that conventional processes struggle to produce. Industrial additive manufacturing addresses all three, provided it is backed by sound engineering.
-
Iteration without tooling
A design change goes from CAD to a physical part without new molds or tooling, which keeps test cycles short.
-
Weight where it counts
Thin walls, lattice structures and consolidated assemblies remove material a part does not need.
-
Geometry beyond machining
Internal channels, undercuts and organic forms can be built in one piece, and polymer SLS needs no support structures.
-
The quantity you need
Prototypes, test articles, fixtures and spare parts can be built in small numbers, from a single part to a short series, without tooling.
Our vision
To become a long-term engineering partner for aerospace, unmanned systems, robotics and industry, and to grow together with Türkiye’s advanced-manufacturing ecosystem.
Engineering approach
An engineer looks at every part
Our approach is simple: understand the part before quoting it, improve it where we can, and be honest about what we can deliver.
-
Engineering review of every request
Before a price is given, an engineer checks manufacturability, build orientation, wall thickness and material fit, and points out the risks.
-
Design for additive manufacturing
Where a part can be lighter, stronger or more economical to build, we suggest the change: part consolidation, lattice infill, orientation or feature adjustments.
-
Honest status
We state what is available now, what is being commissioned and what is planned. If SLS is not the right process for your part, we tell you.
-
Confidential by default
CAD files are stored privately and are accessible only to authorized staff. If you ask for an NDA, it is signed before your files are reviewed.
Facilities & equipment
Built around an industrial dual-laser SLS system
Production is built around an EOS P 770, an industrial polymer laser sintering system by EOS GmbH. Its two CO₂ lasers work in parallel over a large build volume that suits both large single parts and efficient batches of smaller ones.
Status: Commissioning Installed and being commissioned. Requests are reviewed now; production slots are confirmed per project. About the EOS P 770EOS GmbH · EOS P 770

The group
Part of a family group founded in 1986
The Vahdet group is an Istanbul-based family group founded in 1986 and active in several industries.
VAHDET Additive Manufacturing is the group’s industrial additive manufacturing (3D printing) business, set up as a focused engineering operation: one process family, a defined set of industries and an engineer behind every quotation.
Being part of a group that has worked across very different industries for decades gives us a long-term view. We are building this business to last, not to win a single order.

Roadmap
What we plan to add
These are plans, not capabilities. Each item keeps its status until it is in service, and none of it is offered before then.
-
More materials
Status: PlannedAdditional polymers to complement PA 12:
- PA 11
- PA 12 GB
- PA 12 FR
- TPU
-
Extended finishing
Status: PlannedDyeing, smoothing, coating and threaded inserts, to be added step by step.
-
Inspection reports
Status: PlannedFormal dimensional inspection reports to accompany deliveries.
-
Quality management system
Status: PlannedA formal, documented quality management system covering review, production and inspection. Certifications will be listed only once obtained.
-
Further processes
Status: PlannedWe see further additive processes, such as metal additive manufacturing, as a future direction.
Plans can change. This site shows a capability as available only once it is in service.
Values
What we hold ourselves to
-
Engineering honesty
We name our real equipment, state its real status and publish only verified data. If something is planned, we call it planned.
-
Precision in the details
Small details decide whether a part fits and functions. We review them before we quote, not after a part fails.
-
Discretion
Your designs are your intellectual property. We treat them that way, with or without an NDA.
-
Long-term partnership
As part of a family group founded in 1986, we think in years and programs, not in single orders.
