Industrial 3D printing

With industrial 3D printing, components are produced directly from the digital 3D CAD data as individual items or in series. Objects and components can be digitally created and subsequently realized in a cost- and time-saving manner and without tools. This makes it possible to discover potential risks not only theoretically, but also practically directly on the object. Prototyping and the creation of functional spare parts and small series are particularly interesting due to the cost savings. In addition to the aforementioned cost and time savings, the high degree of flexibility in the production process, the possibility of lightweight construction, the creation of complex geometric objects, rapid adaptation to change requests and individualization are also positive factors. A wide range of industries can benefit from industrial 3D printing, such as the automotive industry, design, healthcare, research and many more. The conceptual distinction from “normal” 3D printing is made because industrial 3D printing takes a more professional approach to quality, productivity, process reliability, reproducibility and quality assurance.
