Additive manufacturing

Customized 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 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.
