About

Accelerator of innovation

SAM XL was founded in 2018 as an expertise centre for Smart Advanced Manufacturing with the aid of XL robotics, hence our name: SAM XL. We envision speeding up towards a climate neutral society through collaboration and innovation for product development and manufacturing within Europe. Having 'aerospace' in our DNA, we believe that the unimaginable can be achieved when human and machine collaborate to push boundaries. We strive to maximize the synergy between skilled professionals and intelligent manufacturing systems for producing, joining and inspecting composite and light-metal structures. Our pragmatic approach to achieve this: small steps, big impact.
