3D-Printing
Currently, the most commonly used and optimal methods are Selective Laser Sintering, Multi Jet Fusion, stereolithography, Fused Deposition Modeling, as well as Voxeljet PolyJet and MultiJet processes. In recent years, these methods have been extended to cover an even wider range of applications. Today, additive manufacturing is not only used for prototypes (Rapid Prototyping), but also for tools (Rapid Tooling) and even series parts (additive manufacturing). All of these processes are available at our 3D Printing Center. Our equipment and materials are always up-to-date.
Common to all processes is component production based on a build-up of material in layers by means of geometries obtained via 3D CAD or STL data. The various processes are complex – each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Depending on the chosen method and material, the resulting models will be suitable for different applications. For duplication of the master models, subsequent casting processes are often used both for plastic parts and metal castings.
Through additive manufacturing we can also offer tool-free production of batch sizes ranging from one unit to small series. Additive manufacturing thus “flexes its muscles” where traditional manufacturing reaches its limits. It also facilitates a design-oriented manufacturing process.
We would be happy to advise you and show you the optimal process for your project. You can also visit our Rapid Prototyping Center. For reasons of confidentiality, however, this is only possible by appointment.
