Additive manufacturing

Customised 3D printing – with freeformers from ARBURG and 3D printers from von innovatiQ. Plus the ARBURG Plastic Freeforming (APF), fused filament fabrication (FFF) and liquid additive manufacturing (LAM) technologies.

Open

With the open freeformer system, you have the process control in your own hands and can specifically adjust and optimise layer separation, droplet size and parameters.

Original

With the freeformer, you can use the same plastic granules as for injection moulding. Use a wide range of certified original materials.

Flexible

Components made of TPE or in hard/soft combination. Complex geometries or integrated functions. Working in clean rooms. For all this and more, our freeformers are the right solution.

Areas of application

freeformer für die additive Fertigung von Medizintechnik-Produkten

Medicine

With freeformers and the APF process, you can additively manufacture medical technology products, even from qualified original materials. With total freedom: biocompatible, sterilisable, implantable and even resorbable.

Consumer goods and packaging

Mobile phone covers, flower vases, spectacle frames and shoe soles – manufacture additively personalised products for the consumer goods segment. The benefit for you: a functional component in no time, plus reduced costs in the process.

Electronics

Multi-material processing, flame protection, function integration, miniaturisation or the combination of various processes. freeformers can meet all these requirements. Even if you want to process electrically conductive materials, this is not a problem.
