We manufacture all development phases – from the initial concept model to the pre-production part.
Fast, straightforward and transparent – that's how your order works.
A prototype is used for concept, functional, and fit testing – quickly manufactured and cost-effectively iterated. A series part is optimised for repeatability and volume. With 3D printing, we bridge both worlds: concept models are available in 24 hours, functional prototypes made from near-series PA12 or PC in a few days. Development teams in Kiel use us as a rapid extension of their internal design department – before expensive injection moulds are built.
Simple concept models are ready in 24 hours. We deliver functional prototypes with post-processing, surface treatment, or inserted threaded inserts within 2–4 working days. Compared to CNC milling or injection moulding, this saves 2–6 weeks and often several thousand euros per iteration. Companies from Kiel, Neumünster, and the surrounding areas of Hamburg particularly use our express option for trade fair deadlines and pitch presentations.
Concept models (economical, fast, for form and ergonomics), functional prototypes (mechanically loadable, with threaded inserts and moving parts), fit prototypes (for fit testing in the installation environment) and pre-production parts (documented, repeatable, for internal acceptance or customer presentation). We also manufacture zero series up to 50 pieces upon request. We will clarify which type is sensible for your development phase in a free consultation – also by phone or video.
Yes, always included and at no extra charge. We check every file for printability, wall thicknesses, overhangs and material combinations. If necessary, we provide specific Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) recommendations to make your component more stable, lighter or cheaper. Customers from mechanical engineering and medical technology in Kiel particularly appreciate our honest assessment: If milling or injection moulding is more sensible than 3D printing, we'll say so.
FDM concept models start from €20–80, depending on volume and material. Functional prototypes made from technical materials (PA12, PC, PEEK) cost €50–300, depending on complexity. For larger projects or recurring orders, we create framework offers with fixed unit prices. You will receive a free quote within 24 hours of receiving your files – for customers in Kiel, this can also be discussed directly in person on-site.
Yes. We reliably deliver to all northern German federal states – Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Bremen, and Lower Saxony. Express shipping via DHL is available throughout Germany. For larger projects or personal handovers, we can also come directly to you in Kiel, Lübeck, Flensburg, Rendsburg, Neumünster, or Hamburg. Regional proximity is important to us: many of our regular customers from Kiel's industry value the close contact and fast response times.
Scanning, printing, and prototyping from a single source.
Send us your STL or STEP file – we'll respond with an assessment and quote within 24 hours.
