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.
Our partners
Customer components printed with our Caligma®
Weisser Spulenkörper GmbH & Co. KG
Bobbins
Weisser uses our advanced technology to produce extremely delicate bobbins with wall thicknesses of just 250 to 300 µm, among other things. For this, they use our high-performance material ThermoBlast. Once fitted with pins, the tiny components are immediately ready for use. They open up new possibilities for a wide range of industries – from electrical engineering to medical technology.
ODU GmbH & Co. KG
Insulator
ODU uses our Hot Lithography technology to manufacture a highly complex 97-pin insulator for circular connectors. The component is made from the heat-resistant material ThermoBlast and impresses with 97 drill holes, each 720 µm in diameter with a wall thickness of just 280 µm – some of which include pressed-in pins. This results in high-precision components for sophisticated connectors.
HARTING AG
LDS material
In cooperation with HARTING AG, we have developed an innovative material that enables the 3D printing of laser direct structuring components (LDS) using our Hot Lithography technology. This enables the production of high-resolution 3D MID prototypes that can be lasered and metallized directly – ideal for fast development cycles and functional design with maximum precision.
Robert Bosch GmbH
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.
Weidmüller GmbH & Co. KG
Connectors
Weidmüller has optimized its 2-pin connectors for additive manufacturing using our Hot Lithography Technology. The component can be printed from our flame-resistant ThermoBlast material with just a few support structures, making it ideal for electrical connections in complex geometries.
Hachtel CTmatter GmbH |
Ecurie Aix Formula Student Team RWTH Aachen e.V.
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.
