Series parts in the blink of an eye
In a quality that meets series requirements

From plastic injection molding to additive manufacturing, our range of technologies allows you to manufacture components which are used as series parts and put into circulation. Your quality criteria, test methods and test intervals provide a common basis for success.

When we talk about production, we mean serialparts that are put into circulation and for which certificates, guarantees of origin or other things are available. For the production of your plastic parts, we use a wide portfolio of different technologies. Additive processes such as 3D printing (Selective Laser Sintering), injection molding and vacuum casting open the way to production in series and pre-series production.

What do we mean by pre-series or series?

Pre-series
Pre-series are put into circulation for the first time by the customer. Later, these are replaced by series parts. They are used for validation of a series, as final test parts for installation or for final functional tests. This should result in a release for series production with very little effort.

Series
These components, are put into circulation as series parts by our customers. The quality requirements of the customer are to be coordinated with the 1zu1 possibilities. A validation of the processes is possible.

Is production possible with 3D printing technologies?

Various additional technologies, such as chemical smoothing of laser-sintered parts or coloring of plastic parts by impregnation, bring the 3D printed parts so close to the usual series requirement from injection molding that there is no longer any discernible difference. This high level of vertical integration makes it possible to produce outstanding series 3D printed parts. However, the decisive factor is whether the series material is approved by the customer.

What quantities can we produce for you?

Applications with a total of up to 50,000 parts in the life cycle of a plastic part
For very small quantities of very few parts, it makes sense to select 3D printing as a production technology from the outset.
3D printing: quantities of up to 1,000 are possible and, depending on the requirements of the component, also useful.

When do you benefit when you use 1zu1 as your injection molding partner?

By using in-house manufactured aluminum molds and the entire subsequent injection molding process, iteration steps can be completed in an extremely short time, starting from the first injection-molded prototype up to a production run of 50,000 pieces or more. You are faster on the market with your product and profit by selling your products to your customers at an early stage. At the same time, the cost of aluminum molds is only a fraction of the cost of steel molds.

How long are the lead times?

With 3D printing technologies: 2–5 working days
With plastic injection molding: 2-7 weeks

3D printing
Series production at an absolute top level

The new EOS P500 plastic laser-sintering system makes it possible. The system has been put through its paces for you. Today, two systems of this type are in use exclusively for 1zu1 customers for series components with up to 1,000 pieces or more. In terms of repeat accuracy, the technology is becoming comparable to the injection-molding process,but with the familiar advantages of flexible, tool-free production and a fast turnaround time. The new generation of systems offers constant dimensional accuracy and unsurpassed detail mapping throughout the installation space, thus ensuring maximum precision for entire assemblies.

Your advantages

Thousands of ready-to-use parts in just a few days
Customization & new variants quickly available
Changes & corrections can be implemented quickly
Precision thanks to state-of-the-art equipment
High repeat accuracy close to that of injection molding
Quality advantage thanks to advisory skills in series production

Injection molding with aluminum mold tools
A faster route to small series in original material

Injection molding with aluminum molds involves the rapid production of molds for injection molding technology, as well as the production of small series from plastic using the injection-molding process. By using high-strength aluminum materials and an additional surface coating (if the required number of pieces is available), up to 50,000 components can be produced for 1zu1 customers with a single injection mold. A cleanroom facility has been added to the injection molding production process to meet customer needs and all market requirements, especially in the field of medicine and laboratory technology, but also in microelectronics, life science, etc. Quality assurance is made possible by the new acquisition of a state-of-the-art computed tomography machine.
