Complex 3d print parts
Unlike conventional methods, 3D on-demand production has no manufacturing limitations. Printable is what is constructively conceivable. Unrestricted.
Short delivery times
CAD data goes directly into production without mold making. With our rapid production speed, production starts immediately, whether it’s a single piece or series. You can’t produce faster without your own additional investment.
Minimized costs
Thanks to the differentiated machine pool and highly productive systems for 24/7 operation, our 3D printing service centers can optimally adjust production to customer projects.
For the Delft Hyperloop capsule, we focused on ultra-lightweight components. On the basis of additively produced PMMA casting patterns from voxeljet's European 3D on-demand centers.

On-demand 3D printing to your CAD specifications
Design models, functional models, patterns, cores and molds for investment or sand casting, either plastic or sand, can be produced in the shortest time possible. At the same time, voxeljet makes your 3D design and printing services both simple and flexible. Send us your CAD data and define the quality and application purpose of your component. Our experts will advise you on choosing the right process and material. We prepare your data for printing and take care of the rest.
3D printed part manufacturing in application
voxeljet service centers realize functional prototyping and rapid prototyping, as well as small and medium series production based on CAD data. On request, specialists can process and optimize your CAD data for production or produce the data using reverse engineering on the basis of plans or original components. Our service centers are technically well-equipped to carry out your on-demand 3D printing projects in a wide variety of materials for your specific product requirements.
Sand casting applications
Sand molds and cores for metal casting. From single pieces to small series and medium runs. Manufactured without tools using the Binder Jetting process, we offer our customers an economical alternative to fast and flexible production. With specially matched sand binder combinations for a wide range of metals and alloys. For optimum casting results with small and extremely large components in a volume range from 300 x 200 x 150 mm³ to 4,000 x 2,000 x 1,000 mm³. Casting volumes of up to approx. 80 tons casting weight have already been realized.
Advantages
- Complex components: almost no limits in terms of geometry.
- Detailed models: thanks to a print resolution of up to 300 dpi.
- High dimensional accuracy: no risk of heat distortion in the printing process - even with extremely large components.
- Cost-neutral optimization: molds can be digitally optimized and adapted at any time without the need for tools.
- Suitable for hybrid construction: The sand cores can be combined with conventional molds. For example, when producing complex geometries and channels in the interior of a component.
- Environmentally friendly: Almost 100% of the loose, unprinted material can be reused.
Investment casting applications
Economical and timesaving. The additive production of plastic investment casting models using the voxeljet PMMA process. We use acrylic plastics with excellent burn-out properties. Particularly complex geometries can be produced cost-effectively in small and medium runs without the need for costly model production. Component sizes up to 1,000 x 600 x 500 mm³.
Advantages
- Complex components: almost no limits in geometry, wall thicknesses of only 1 mm possible.
- Detailed models: thanks to a print resolution of up to 600 dpi.
- Surface finishing: wax infiltration or epoxy resin infiltration for smoother investment castings.
- Optimal burn-out behavior: No shell breakage because we have a negative thermal expansion coefficient.
- Environmentally friendly: Almost 100% of the loose, unprinted material is reusable.
Polymer functional parts
Functional prototyping. Using the voxeljet Polymer High Speed Sintering (HSS) process, we produce plastic parts with properties equivalent to those of injection molded parts from conventional production. Our 3D service centers manufacture extremely economically and in the shortest possible time without tools and without support structures. In any geometry, any complexity and with the highest level of detail. In component dimensions of up to 271,8 x 177,4 x 135,7mm³. In the polymer PA12.
Advantages
- Complex components: Almost no limits in geometry, wall thicknesses of minimum 0.15 mm possible.
- Detailed models: Thanks to a print resolution of up to 600 dpi.

- Surface finishing: The components can be colored and blasted as required.
- Environmentally friendly: Almost 100% of the loose, unprinted material can be reused.
Design Models
Finely detailed architectural models, high-resolution film props, realistic exhibits or replicas of valuable museum pieces with 3D printing, unique pieces can be created quickly and without tools. Depending on the material, components or molds up to 4,000 x 2,000 x 1,000mm³ can be produced with the highest level of detail.
Advantages
- Material variety: A wide range of materials can be printed using the voxeljet Binder Jetting process.

Metal castings
A special service offered by voxeljet is the contract production of complete castings according to CAD data sets. With the advantage that the molds can be 3D printed on demand without tools, even with complex undercuts. This saves time and money without compromising on quality. With maximum metallurgical and casting technology know-how. In well-rehearsed processes, voxeljet realizes projects with experienced partners from the foundry industry quickly, economically and in accordance with German quality standards.

In this online seminar we want to introduce you to our On Demand printing services.
3D HSS Polymer Sintering
voxeljet Polymer High Speed Sintering for functional 3D parts
voxeljet High Speed Sintering (HSS) is an extremely powerful 3D printing technology developed by voxeljet for the high-performance production of the most precise polymer parts with plastic injection molds of comparable quality and durability. In contrast to conventional processes, sintering is not carried out using complex laser technology, but with pixel accuracy using heat-reactive binders. High Speed Sintering is therefore extremely reliable and robust in application, extremely fast and ensures high output even with large-volume objects. This process enables the use of a wide range of polymers, such as PA12, PP, TPU, PEBA and also EVA.
3D Universal Binder Jetting
voxeljet Universal Jetting for 3D sand, plastic and ceramic printing
High-performance 3D part printing with outstanding material freedom. voxeljet Universal Binder Jetting (UBJ) is an extremely powerful 3D printing technology developed by voxeljet for producing high-precision sand, PMMA and ceramic prints. For example, for the industrial production of sand cores for metal casting. In contrast to conventional processes, the binder is processed inline in the machine with pinpoint accuracy. For optimally controlled results with dynamic inline inkjet technology. Technology that can react agilely to the special physical requirements of your components. All on-demand 3D printing systems rely on high-quality, specially developed print heads designed for 24/7 operation.
