Production of metal components using the 3D printing process

The production of metal components using 3D printing encompasses the additive manufacturing of complex components from metal powders or wire materials for the aerospace, medical technology, mechanical engineering, automotive, energy, and toolmaking industries. This segment is characterized by increasing demand for lightweight, high-strength components, shorter development cycles, and flexible small-batch production. At the same time, process monitoring, material qualification, quality assurance, post-processing, and traceable documentation are gaining in importance. Suppliers must reliably combine design expertise, materials knowledge, and reproducible manufacturing processes. This enables metal 3D printing to create innovative geometries, resource-efficient production, and high-performance components for demanding applications.
