Advantages of additive manufacturing in CNC machining
In our compact e-book, we show you how modern manufacturing companies are strategically using 3D printing – with real examples, clear benefits, and concrete use cases.
How does 3D printing work?
3D printers transform CAD designs into individual parts, creating them layer by layer. Learn how the process works—from software to materials to machinery.

3D printing software
There are many and very different 3D printing software programs, but in principle they all have the same core elements and analyze a uniform file type.

3D printing materials
The Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) printing process is incredibly adaptable – but it doesn’t work for all plastics.

3D printing process
The characteristics of each printer – its composition and the quality of its components – influence the quality and volume of parts it can produce.

CAD software
There are a variety of CAD software programs on the market. But which software is right for you? Medium-sized and industrial companies value efficient, fast, and intuitive work.
Guide to composite 3D printing
How do I design correctly for filament 3D printing? Which applications are suitable for it, and what is the cost-effectiveness of a 3D printer? – You've come to the right place! These guides will help you find the right answers.

Construction guide
Specially designed for generative manufacturing processes, the design guide is intended to help you execute your designs even better and faster.

Composite Design Guide
Design for production is a critical component of the product development cycle. It eliminates barriers in production and delivers successful parts that are optimally aligned with the process.

Carbon fibers
This guide explores the basics of carbon fiber 3D printing, defines the different grades, examines the challenges, benefits, implementation considerations, and much more.

3D printing stronger than aluminum
The base materials are Onyx (Onyx FR) and nylon. These can be reinforced with continuous fibers such as carbon, Kevlar, fiberglass, and HSHT fiberglass, making the components extremely stable.
