DESIGN AND INNOVATION
3D printing offers the opportunity to think about product design and production in new ways. The greatest benefits are achieved when a product is designed or optimised for 3D printing.
Ideation, modelling, prototyping, testing.
We specialise in small and medium-sized design projects where the aim is to get the product into production as quickly as possible. For example, equipment enclosures, special tools and production aids.
Strong partnerships
For larger design projects, we partner with leading engineering companies in the field, for example when demanding strength and flow calculations are required.
Component fusion & Design for AM
Case: Optimisation of a hydraulic block for 3D printing.
Product weight reduced from over 3 kg to less than 300 grams.
The number of components was reduced from 33 to one.
Product functionality improved, including better flow.

Book a free survey
A 3D mapping to find the potential of 3D printing in your company. Based on the mapping, products and activities can be further designed with clear insights into improved or new products, tools or spare parts.
During the mapping process, the customer's products, components, and processes are reviewed and analysed to see what benefits 3D printing could bring to them. 3DStep will prepare a written report on the mapping.
