This will help eliminate expensive modifications to the production moulds. Leader in AdditiveManufacturing With its headquarters in Leuven, Belgium, and branches worldwide, Materialise has been playing an active role in the field of Additive Manufacturing (AM) since 1990. In addition to having the largest single-site capacity of AM equipment in Europe, Materialise also enjoys a stellar reputation as a provider of innovative software solutions.

Materialise has developed unique solutions that make a world of difference for its many customers with their manufacturing, prototyping, and product development needs. Prototyping solutions:Match reality closer. Materialise’s goal is not just to produceprototypes, but to add real value to your design process. Their team believes that every design engineer should have easy access to design verification that matches reality closer than ever. Concept models are the ideal tool for the first design evaluation. They also allow people from less technical departments to discuss the product in detail. Visual prototypes are exact representations of theend product that can be used for photo shoots and product launches at exhibitions. Materialise has its own paintand lacquer installation, operatedby skilled people, offering customised paint mixing facilities for all RAL colours. Manufacturing Solutions: empower every design engineer to solve challenging problems by AdditiveManufacturing. Materialise offers freedom of design whenyou want to add more functionality, whenyou have limited series, limited space or when you need to displace heat, water or air. As a solid design partner we join you in finding unexplored opportunities and turning them into touchable results. We strive toempower every design engineer to solve challenging problems byAdditive Manufacturing. When your product is aimed at a small user group, we advise you to use one ofour techniques, which can deliver series from 10up to 10,000 parts and allow you to cost-effectively begin with a small series of your product and re-order onthe fly. Materialise offers technical andengineering consultancy to designers who are not yet accustomed to our typeof technologies. It is essential to start designing with a certain production technology in mind so the end product not only looks good and performs well, but is also manufactured in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
