Additive Manufacturing

to the research institutes

From computer to reality

The additive manufacturing laboratories offer a wide range of options for creating prototypes for study projects, thesis work, and much more. Additive manufacturing allows objects to be created using computer data by applying material layer by layer. The materials used can range from plastics to metals to ceramics. Our laboratories are fully equipped and can offer many different printing processes and materials.

Lab equipment

Lab equipment includes:

  • 1x Ultimaker S5 (FDM printer with 2 print nozzles, installation space: 330mm x 240mm x 300mm)
  • 2x Ultmaker 3 (FDM printer with 2 print nozzles, installation space: 215mm x 215mm x 200mm for single extrusion / 197mm x 215mm x 200mm for dual extrusion)
  • 1x Keyence Agilista (multi-jet printer, installation space: 297mm x 210mm x 200mm)
Reverse Engineering from existing components

In addition to the generative production of original CAD data created by students, our laboratories also offer the possibility of converting existing objects into 3D objects. This can be used, for example, to manufacture spare parts or improve existing components.
