Yes. Our product development engineers guide you from the very first hand sketch or specification sheet all the way to the finished production part. Using advanced reverse engineering (industrial 3D scanning & surface reconstruction), we also digitize existing physical parts or legacy sample components and convert them into production-ready CAD models.
Through targeted DfAM and topology optimization, we engineer parts so material is placed only where structural loads actually occur. At the same time, we consolidate multi-part assemblies into a single printable component (part consolidation). This reduces part weight by up to 70 %, eliminates assembly and sealing steps, and significantly lowers your unit costs in serial production.
Because 3D printing is a thermal process, general manufacturing tolerances of around ± 0.3 mm (or ± 0.3 %) apply depending on part geometry and technology. Tight mechanical engineering fits in the hundredths-of-a-millimeter range (such as H7 bearing seats) cannot be achieved straight out of the printer. Our solution: We add targeted machining stock to critical functional surfaces in CAD and mechanically ream, bore, or CNC-mill the seat to your exact target tolerance after printing.
No—you can skip modeling complex 3D threads in CAD altogether! Simply design a smooth, round pilot hole. Depending on your requirements, we either heat-set high-strength brass threaded inserts (M2 to M12) or tap the thread directly into your part (including custom pitches and US imperial threads such as 1/8" NPT/UNC). Direct 3D printing from CAD is only recommended for large threads (M8 and above with coarse pitch).
Yes. Because loose powder naturally supports components during powder bed printing (SLS & MJF), we manufacture articulated joints, hinges, and interlocking mechanisms in a single print job—with zero post-print assembly required. All that is needed in CAD is a defined clearance gap (from 0.3 mm for fine mechanics up to 1.0 mm for standard PA12 assemblies) so the unsintered powder can be completely removed.
