Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing or three-dimensional (3D) printing will have revolutionary impact on the manufacturing processes as it offers significant advantages over the conventional manufacturing techniques and technologies. While rapid prototyping allows fast and cost-effective mass-production, additive manufacturing enables customized and indiviualized products right on demand.

The main idea behind the technology of additive manufacturing is to create physical objects out of plastic, metalic or ceramic-based materials from digital models. Its key feature is layer-by-layer build-up of parts. The process starts from raw materials with almost no specific shape and therefore no special component tools and moulds are required.

Industrial Added-Values
