Components made with the injection molding method
Other manufacturing methods for your individual components
3D-printing
Turned or milled components from bar stock
Your high-performance plastic component can be machined from bar stock. Based on your data files, we will quote a price and, upon request, make the part.
Best suited for quantities of: 1 to 500
Components made with a 3D-printed injection mold
We can injection-mold your individual component, using high-performance plastics, in our 3D printer. This method saves time and up to 80% of costs. The mold materials are able to withstand the high temperatures of the injection molding process, meaning up to 500 parts can be made from a single mold.
Best suited for quantities of: 1 to 500
Injection-molded components made with aluminum tools
Individual components can be injection-molded with aluminum tools, which is very time-saving due to its lean manufacturing method, even for complex assembles. The tooling costs are also very low. Simply submit a 3D model and receive a quote immediately.
Best suited for quantities of: 200 to 10,000
