Advantages of 3D Printing for Mechanical Engineering & Automation
In machine building and automation, precision, durability and flexibility are essential for efficient production. With 3D printing, you can produce customized components quickly and cost-effectively without the need for expensive tooling. The technology enables rapid iteration, lightweight optimization and the production of complex geometries that cannot be created with traditional methods.
3D printing makes it easy to replace or optimize machine components, reducing downtime and improving overall productivity. Meanwhile, materials with high mechanical strength ensure your parts can withstand wear, vibration, and stress in demanding production environments.
"Reduce downtime, optimize production and get stronger components – 3D printing is the future of machine building and automation."
High precision & strength for production equipment
3D printing makes it possible to manufacture precise and strong components tailored to specific production needs, without long production runs or expensive tooling.
Fast production & flexible customization
Traditional manufacturing methods often require casting or CNC milling, which can be time-consuming and expensive. With 3D printing, you can quickly develop and test new parts, avoiding long wait times and reducing production downtime.
Production of unique & complex geometries
3D printing makes it possible to manufacture designs that cannot be produced with traditional methods, opening up new solutions within automation and special machinery.
Reduced material waste & sustainable production
Compared to milling and casting, 3D printing can minimize material waste as the material is only used where it is needed.
Maximum strength, minimal weight and optimized performance – materials designed for industry.
Materials Customized Machine Building & Automation
The mechanical engineering industry places high demands on strength, wear resistance and temperature resistance. With 3D printing, you can choose materials that can withstand high loads, friction and chemicals, while optimizing the performance and lifespan of the machine.
