Component Design for 3D Printing
The key to functional, cost-effective, and reproducible 3D-printed components. We’ll help you with design, optimization, and preparation!
What We Mean by Component Design
For us, component design in 3D printing means more than just creating CAD data. What matters most is that components are designed from the outset to be print-ready, cost-effective, and application-oriented.
As a 3D printing service provider with in-house design expertise, we approach design and manufacturing as a unified process —not as separate entities. This results in components that not only function digitally but can also be manufactured and deployed efficiently.
Component Design: Our Services for You
From data creation and optimization to quality assurance: We see ourselves as your partner—from the initial idea to the finished component.
Professional 3D Modeling
We bring your visions to life. Our team creates precise digital 3D models based on your sketches, drawings, or initial ideas. Whether it’s complex free-form surfaces or technical functional components—we transform concepts into print-optimized data sets, creating the perfect foundation for your additive manufacturing process.
High-precision 3D scanning
The bridge from reality to digital data: Using state-of-the-art scanning technology, we capture objects non-contact and with high precision. Whether for reverse engineering or the digitization of spare parts—we provide you with detailed CAD data for seamless further processing. Since our founding in 2006, we have been committed to delivering precise measurement results.
Precise 3D CAD Design
From the initial sketch to the final set of drawings: Our design department works with you every step of the way to bring your components and production runs to life. We combine state-of-the-art software with in-depth industry experience to deliver sophisticated projects that meet the highest standards of precision and functionality.
Efficient component optimization
Maximum performance with minimal material usage: We use methods such as topology optimization and bionic structures to significantly reduce the weight of your components. This allows us to fully leverage the potential of 3D printing to make your components more cost-effective and sustainable.
Assembly consolidation
Reduce complexity and assembly effort: We combine multiple individual parts into a single, functionally integrated component. Thanks to our design flexibility, we eliminate weak points such as screw connections and lower your process costs by leveraging two decades of engineering expertise.
Reliable data validation
Ensuring the reliability of your printing process: Before production begins, we conduct a detailed review of your data to verify printability and material suitability. We identify potential sources of error early on and optimize the data set —ensuring maximum process reliability and first-class results in the final part.
