DESIGN & PRODUCTION
Additive Manufacturing at Vectoflow
Additive manufacturing is at the heart of Vectoflow’s probe technology. Using advanced 3D-printing processes, we create lightweight yet extremely robust probes with geometries that conventional manufacturing cannot achieve. Complex internal channels, compact multi-sensor designs, and fully integrated features enable reliable flow measurement even under the most demanding aerodynamic and thermal conditions.
All Under One Roof
Our in-house facilities in Gilching (Germany) allow us to move seamlessly from concept to finished probe – combining design, production, and calibration under one roof. The result: tailor-made flow measurement solutions that deliver accuracy, durability, and unmatched flexibility for every application.
