Open
With the open freeformer system, you have the process control in your own hands and can specifically adjust and optimize layer separation, droplet size and parameters.
Original
With the freeformer, you can use the same plastic granules as for injection molding. 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
Medicine
With freeformers and the APF process, you can additively manufacture medical technology products, even from qualified original materials. With total freedom: biocompatible, sterilizable, implantable and even resorbable.
Mobility and lightweight construction
Production of honeycomb structures and bionically optimized components on freeformers. Flexible functional components made of original soft materials. Not only saves you weight, but costs and time as well. In terms of both material and equipment.
Aerospace
Lead the way. With your additive manufacturing, you are way ahead in lightweight construction. With a high degree of freedom, resource conservation and sustainability. When processing high-strength, high-temperature plastics.
Consumer goods and packaging
Mobile phone covers, flower vases, spectacle frames and shoe soles – manufacture additively personalized 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, miniaturization 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.
