3D printing functions similarly to normal ink printing – but in three dimensions. Layer by layer, the sample parts to be created are “printed” from a dimensionally stable ABS-like material. This is done by connecting an ABS wire with a print head which melts the material and positions it at the corresponding place for hardening.
3D-printed parts are ideally suited to functional tests, proofs of concept, and obstruction and dimension tests. The parts are produced at low-cost “overnight” and finished on request (ground, coated etc.).
Delivery time for 3D-printed parts is usually around 2-3 days.
Individual parts, small lot sizes
High quality of parts
Very high stability under load (material similar to ABS)
Functional tests possible
