Applications

Industrial 3D printing for micro components

Hot Lithography for applications where the finest details matter

Industrial 3D printing of micro components requires maximum precision, ultra-fine structures, and tight tolerances. With our advanced photopolymers and Hot Lithography technology, high-resolution additive manufacturing can be efficiently realized at micro scale. The heated printing process enables the production of intricate components with excellent surface quality and reliable, consistent performance – even for complex geometries and the smallest details. This results in functional, high-performance, and cost-efficient micro components.

Why Hot Lithography for micro components?

Miniaturization & precise detail

High-precision laser systems enable the production of complex micro parts with ultra-fine structures and tight tolerances.

 

No tooling and no lead times required
Direct manufacturing eliminates the need for tooling, reduces time and cost, and is ideal for small batch production and customized designs. 

High-resolution surface quality
Smooth surfaces and excellent detail accuracy minimize post-processing and ensure reliable, repeatable results.

Material versatility & functional performance
Our high-performance photopolymers offer excellent mechanical strength, temperature resistance, and long-term stability.

Modular connectors

Bosch is using our Hot Lithography to produce a 26-pin, modular connector for the automotive industry as a functional prototype. The connector, which consists of six individual parts, is made from our all-rounder material Evolution and offers maximum flexibility in design and assembly thanks to its modular construction.

Peripheral enclosure

In collaboration with Hachtel, Ecurie Aix uses our Hot Lithography and the flame-retardant material Connection FR to produce a peripheral enclosure. The component meets all regulatory requirements and impresses with its thin wall thickness. It also contributes to the weight reduction of the eax04 – a race car built by Ecurie Aix, one of the fastest teams in Formula Student.
