Digitization, individualization, lightweight construction and ever more demanding geometric requirements in design and technology are posing greater challenges to traditional production. Unimaginable just a few years ago, 3D printing is increasingly making its way into the industry’s production halls. With commercially successful examples, even in mass production runs of 10,000 units or more, as well as high potential for optimizing production processes, and sustainable savings effects in setup, tooling, and assembly costs – additive manufacturing is an innovative 3D printing solution for fast and flexible production without limits. A pioneer today for the competitive digital production of tomorrow.
Technical and economic advantages with 3D printing solutions from voxeljet
Optimize costs
Complex geometries and increasingly varied and smaller batch sizes. Wherever conventional processes reach their economic limits due to cost-intensive mold construction or changeover times, additive 3D production processes offer essential economic advantages and are complementary to existing production lines.
Production on any scale
voxeljet has the world's largest and most powerful 3D printing systems for large components or large runs of small components. We overcome the limitations of traditional 3D printing systems and processes with the ability to port production data of components across the entire voxeljet 3D printer family.
Accelerate Time to Market
By eliminating the need for tool and mold making, additive production processes shorten the manufacturing times of components by up to 75%. This includes product development in model and prototype construction and in the production of small and medium-sized series as well as in the manufacture of components with many variants.
Today, 3D printing offers art an entirely new way to shape the world. One that clearly pushes the boundaries of what is possible and imposes almost no limits on ideas.

voxeljet additive 3D print solutions offer the advantage of a complete digital data chain across all phases of the product life cycle
With continuous data chains, voxeljet offers the possibility of transferring production data of components across the entire voxeljet 3D printer family. From rapid prototyping and efficient machines for the production of medium-sized series orders to the world’s largest and most powerful 3D printing systems for additive mass production of large components or large runs of small components. We overcome the limitations of traditional 3D printing solutions, enabling a seamless and efficient transition from design to volume production. We also offer the option of additive mold making in perfect synthesis with existing production lines.
3D production: for new scope in almost every industry
Additive manufacturing will change industrial production in many facets. On the one hand, the highly individualized production of one-of-a-kind products and small and very small batches will once again become efficient and economically interesting. On the other hand, robust, high-performance 3D production systems are penetrating areas that until recently were reserved for traditional manufacturing processes. In the near future, additive manufacturing, in combination with the digitalization of value chains, will change industrial production forever.
Sand Casting
Innovative voxeljet 3D printing solutions can be used to produce molds and cores in any complexity for metal casting. From single pieces to medium runs, components can be manufactured without tools using the Binder Jetting process. Flawlessly manufactured in one piece even with undercuts and bionic geometries. With certified sand binder combinations for almost all castable alloys, our printers provide optimum sand casting results even with extremely large components up to 4,000 x 2,000 x 1,000mm³.
Investment casting
The additive production of investment casting models perfectly made of plastic using the voxeljet PMMA Binder Jetting process are both economical and time-saving. The process uses acrylic glass with excellent burn-out properties. Particularly complex geometries can be produced cost-effectively in small and medium-sized batches without the need for costly pattern production. For component sizes up to 1,000 x 600 x 500mm³.
Architecture
Maximum efficiency and precision in the realization of complex concrete formwork: in the large-format voxeljet binder jetting process, shuttering skins up to 21mm thin can be 3D-printed and combined with conventional shuttering systems. With completely new possibilities for architects and element construction, curvatures, detailed facades, and undercuts can be realized without much effort.
Polymer Sintering
Functional Prototyping and Rapid Prototyping using voxeljet Polymer High Speed Sintering (HSS) machines produce polymer parts whose properties are equivalent to those of injection molded parts from conventional production. Without tools and support structures, and available in any geometry or complexity – components with dimensions of up to 290 x 140 x 180mm³ can be printed with the highest level of detail using innovative 3D printing solutions from voxeljet.
Mock-Up's & Models
Finely detailed architectural models, high-resolution film props or realistic exhibits and replicas of valuable museum pieces. – the voxeljet 3D Binder Jetting printer can produce any object, however complex, quickly and without tools. Depending on the material, components can be produced on almost any scale and can stay true to the original. Available in dimensions of 4,000 x 2,000 x 1,000mm³ from sand or 1,000 x 600 x 500mm³ from PMMA with the highest level of detail.
Technical Ceramics
With unique material properties, technical ceramics are among the materials of the future. They are characterized by enormous hardness, bending strength and temperature resistance. With 3D print solutions specially adapted to the production of specific ceramic materials, voxeljet is redefining the freedom of design in the production of ceramic components - even the most complex and large-format ceramic components can be produced quickly.
Sustainability
Sustainability and responsibility are integral values of voxeljet AG and stand for the further development of our 3D printing solutions.
