3D printing technologies

From metals to polymers, a single point of contact. We work with in-house technologies and with a network of qualified partners, identifying the right technology for each part.

LPBF DED FDM SLS MJF SLA
METALS

LPBF

Laser Powder Bed Fusion

A laser selectively melts a bed of metal powder, layer by layer. The result is parts with near-100% density and geometries that conventional machining cannot achieve: internal channels, lattice structures, lightweight parts.

Ideal for
Functional metal parts, mould inserts with conformal cooling, lightweight parts, small series.
Materials
Aluminium alloys, titanium, stainless and tool steels, nickel superalloys, cobalt-chrome, copper alloys.

DED

Directed Energy Deposition

Metal powder or wire is melted by a concentrated energy source (laser, electric arc or electron beam) right at the point of deposition. It allows large parts to be built and material to be added to existing components.

Ideal for
Repair and rebuilding of components, cladding and coatings, large metal parts.
Materials
Steels, titanium alloys, nickel alloys, cobalt alloys.
POLYMERS

FDM

Fused Deposition Modeling · FFF

A thermoplastic filament is melted and extruded layer by layer. It is the most widely used and versatile 3D printing technology, with a wide choice of materials.

Ideal for
Concept and functional prototypes, jigs, fixtures and line tooling, spare parts, custom brackets and components.
Materials
PLA, PETG, ABS/ASA, carbon-filled nylon, TPU, engineering polymers (PC, PEEK, PEI).

SLS

Selective Laser Sintering

A laser sinters polymer powder; the unfused powder supports the part, so no supports are needed. Great geometric freedom and nearly uniform mechanical properties in all directions.

Ideal for
Functional parts with complex geometries and internal cavities, printed without supports.
Materials
PA12, PA11, filled nylons, TPU.

MJF

Multi Jet Fusion

Inkjet heads deposit a fusing agent and a detailing agent onto the powder; infrared lamps then consolidate the treated areas. Fast lead times and consistent quality even on large batches.

Ideal for
Technical and functional components, parts with complex geometries, spare parts, functional prototypes.
Materials
PA12, PA11, glass-bead-filled PA12, PP, TPU.

SLA

Stereolithography

A liquid photosensitive resin is cured by a UV laser, layer by layer. It offers the best surface finish and the finest detail among polymer technologies.

Ideal for
Appearance models, mould masters, transparent parts, small details.
Materials
Standard, ABS-like and PP-like, clear, high-temperature, elastomeric and castable resins.
