VBN Components AB

VBN Components AB is a Swedish materials development company, founded in 2008. The brand name Vibenite® stands for extreme wear resistance, heat resistance and complex shapes. The Vibenite® materials are patented and give high-performance products, improving the competitiveness of the engineering industry. The company sells metal tools and components in near-net-shape according to customer drawings, as well as license solutions. The products are manufactured directly from powder through 3D printing (additive manufacturing).

VBN Components develops metal alloys with extreme wear and heat resistance, produced by 3D printing/additive manufacturing. Our strive has always been to improve material properties for industrial applications, resulting in alloys such as Vibenite® 290 – the world’s hardest steel, and Vibenite® 480 – the world’s first 3D printed cemented carbide.

The alloys have a hardness up to 75.5 HRC and are suitable for defence applications ranging from ballistic protection to wear resistant spare parts produced on-demand, thanks to unique opportunities such as extremely short lead-time, flexibility in design and rapid product development.

As a customer, you have three options to access our innovative materials: to purchase components produced by VBN (according to your design), to obtain a licence to produce Vibenite® in-house, or to collaborate with VBN to develop a new alloy that perfectly suits your needs.

Through additive manufacturing, VBN Components offers great flexibility in the number of parts you can order; it can be a single part as well as serial production. In addition, our technology allows significant design freedom when it comes to adding features such as channels or reducing the weight of a component.
