Production of plastic components 3D printing process

The production of plastic components using 3D printing encompasses the additive manufacturing of functional parts, prototypes, fixtures, and small production runs for industry, medical technology, mechanical engineering, and other technical applications. This segment is currently characterized by the transition from prototyping to industrial use, as well as by increasing demands for reproducibility, quality assurance, and documentation. At the same time, material-appropriate design, automated process chains, and resource-efficient manufacturing are gaining in importance. Companies in this field must therefore closely integrate data preparation, material selection, process control, and component testing. This ensures that the segment remains central to flexible development processes, cost-effective small production runs, and innovative plastic solutions.
