Mechanical engineering & fixtures
Custom brackets, gripper parts, gauges and functional components – precisely adapted to your process.
Prototypes & samples
Fast, functional, close to series. Test and present your product before tooling costs arise.
Spare parts
Even without drawings or original data: we scan or measure and remake the part.
Classic cars & motorsport
Reconstruct parts that are no longer available and lightweight design for rally use.
Templates & gauges
Assembly aids, drilling and inspection gauges that prevent errors and save time in production.
Orthopaedic technology
Custom orthoses, positioning shells and aids – precisely made based on a 3D scan, as a manufacturing partner for medical supply stores and orthotists.
Metal & lightweight parts
Topology-optimised components in stainless steel, aluminium or titanium – lighter than milled.
Which parts are worth 3D printing – and which are not?
3D printing plays to its strengths when quantities are small, shapes get complex or things need to be fast. Because no tooling is needed, the first part costs no more than the tenth. Ideal are fixtures and gripper jaws, prototypes, spare parts without drawings, gauges and templates, custom orthoses and topology-optimised lightweight metal parts.
3D printing makes less sense for simple prismatic parts in large quantities – milling, turning or injection moulding are usually cheaper there. We tell you that openly. Often a combination is best: print the complex part and finish the functional surfaces.
Typical applications
| Mechanical engineering | gripper jaws, holders, loading aids, stops |
|---|---|
| Development | visual and functional prototypes, variants |
| Maintenance | spare parts without original data |
| Production | drilling, inspection and assembly gauges |
| Motorsport & classic cars | reconstruction, lightweight design, brackets |
| Medical technology | orthoses and aids based on scans |
| Metal | topology-optimised lightweight parts |
Good signs for 3D printing
- Quantity from 1 to a few hundred
- Complex shape, undercuts or internal channels
- The part will soon be changed or adapted
- Short lead time matters
- Several parts could become one
