What is 3D printing?

3D printing, most commonly known as additive manufacturing, has become a reliable technique used in a wide range of fields due to continuous development. 3D printing is a technique in which three-dimensional objects are layered from a material to create them.

Have you ever wondered how 3D printing works and what possible applications this manufacturing method brings?

Der 3D-Druck ist eine fortschrittliche Fertigungstechnik, die in verschiedenen Branchen eingesetzt wird, um „Proofs of Concept“, Prototypen oder Endprodukte zu erstellen. Während man früher Modelle und rototypen manuell erstellte, baut der 3D-Druck Objekte Schicht für Schicht aus einer 3D-Datei auf, und verwandelt somit eine digitale Version in einen realen Gegenstand.

Instead of model building by hand or high effort in classic manufacturing, computer-aided production saves time and money in product development. Companies are using 3D printing as a competitive advantage and rethinking their business strategy. Engineers, designers and hobbyists are working on modern applications of this technology.

Areas of application for 3D printed products:

Prototypes

- Visual sample
- Dummy parts
- mockups
- "Look and Feel" models
- Demonstration models
- Initial samples
- Parts for testing geometry, function or assembly possibility with fast availability

Auxiliary means

- Devices
- brackets
- mounting aids
- templates
- functional parts
- 3D printed parts that serve as a quick tool in a process

End products

- Components for end customers
- Small series parts
- Component and material properties at the level of classic manufacturing processes
- Direct installation of the component in the end product
