They’re incredibly strong, resist harsh chemicals, and can handle high temperatures, making them perfect for demanding applications in various industries. Essentially, they keep things lighter and more efficient without sacrificing durability or reliability. Read More..

Cost Savings up to 90%

Reduce Lead Time to Hours

COST AND TIME EFFICIENCY

Industrial 3D printing with high-performance polymers eliminates setup costs and the need for expensive molds or stock materials. Parts can be produced directly from a digital model, saving up to 90% on small series. With instant production, companies receive durable, custom parts in hours, not weeks — speeding up manufacturing, reducing waste, and keeping operations efficient and cost-effective. Read More..

Mass Customization & Internal Structures

Reduced Material Waste

FLEXIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY

High-performance industrial 3D printing enables mass customization, allowing each part to have a unique design while optimizing internal structures for better performance and reduced weight. Unlike traditional methods that rely on stock shapes and generate significant waste, 3D printing uses only the necessary material, minimizing excess. This flexibility makes producing even a single part economically viable, reducing overproduction and supporting sustainability through efficient, almost waste-free manufacturing. Read More..

Case Studies: How Industrial 3D Printing Improves Efficiency and Reduces Costs

Read more how miniFactory technology helps to solve real problems with new and efficient way.

"Previously, we manufactured plastic parts by machining PTFE or PVDF materials, but we have switched to PPSU material with 3D printing. This material offers excellent chemical resistance and is therefore suitable for the relevant application"

- Kalle Leander, Product Designer, Permascand

"As we constantly change and launch new products, it usually requires that we must quickly and efficiently adapt our equipment to cope with, and streamline production. Our equipment was originally designed for one specific purpose. When we started reconfiguring our facility, 3D printing provided a flexible and relatively inexpensive solution"

- Thoalfiqar Abbas, Our/Vodka
