The starting point for any 3D print is a high-quality 3D model. However, this does not have to be available right at the start of the project. We would be happy to work with you to create a 3D model for your project. The more specific the imaginations/templates are, the faster the 3D model is created.

We prefer files in .stl, .step, or .obj format.
In der Regel können wir aber auch mit allen anderen gängigen 3D-Formaten arbeiten.

In principle, our 3D-printed exhibits are also ideally suited for outdoor use. We currently use PETG as a material for 3D printing for outdoor use, as it has a high temperature and resistance capacity. The exhibits must then be sealed with a clear coat to protect them from harmful UV radiation.

Our first outdoor projects have been in permanent outdoor use since 2024—and our experience has been consistently positive. However, because large-format 3D printing is a relatively new technology, its long-term performance over many years of exposure to the elements is still developing. For this reason, we deliberately do not offer a blanket durability guarantee. Instead, we approach each project individually: We factor in the material, sealing, and—for freestanding large-scale objects—wind loads and structural stability from the very beginning—and we’re happy to advise you on care and maintenance so that your exhibit remains in top condition for as long as possible.

As a rough clue, a human sculpture (insert link to screenshot of the 3D model here) can be based on the following weights.menschlichen Skulptur von folgenden Gewichten ausgehen.

In addition to geometry, the weight of a 3D-printed exhibit depends heavily on the intended use. An exhibit that is not stressed and is used, for example, as an exhibition object at a trade fair, is significantly lighter than an exhibit that is intended for permanent outdoor use.
If the geometry allows a stressed object to be laminated from the inside with GRP, the required strength may also be achieved with a significantly lower component weight, as the inner GRP layer then provides the necessary strength.
You can find further clues about possible weights in our reference projects (insert link to reference projects). Referenzprojekten.

The production of the 3D-printed exhibit is always at the core of our services. All additional services, such as rework or painting, can be ordered as an option. This means that you can also order a “raw” 3D print, but not create a 3D model without subsequent production.

We are currently processing PLA and PETG on our large-format 3D printers. We use PLA for indoor projects. PETG is used for polluted outdoor exhibits and projects.

The fire protection class depends on the material used. Fire protection class B1 (flame retardant) is generally met.

Time-critical projects are our daily bread, so don't hesitate to send us an inquiry, even with tight schedules. We will do our best to give you feedback and an assessment of your project within 24 hours.innerhalb von 24 Stunden eine Rückmeldung und eine Einschätzung zu Ihrem Projekt zu geben. Die spezifische Dauer eines Projekts hängt von der Komplexität und dem Umfang desselben ab. Von wenigen Tagen bis zu mehreren Monaten ist alles möglich.

The durability of 3D-printed exhibits depends on the selected material and the correct process parameters. In principle, anything from very lightweight and less resilient exhibits to very stable and heavily loaded exhibits (e.g. a bench for MINI in public areas) is possible.

Depending on the material used, the temperature resistance differs. While PLA is stable up to approx. 50 °C, PETG can be used up to approx. 80 °C.

We would be happy to make a pedestal for your project in our wood workshop or a stainless steel stand in our metal workshop for mounting on the wall or for secure installation outdoors.

Our 3D printers are equipped with process cameras. We are happy to create a time-lapse picture of your project and provide you with continuous image & video material during the project period.

You are welcome to drop by at any time and get an impression of the place. Feel free to contact us by e-mail or telephone and we will arrange an appointment as soon as possible.

During production, we use the FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling)/FFF (Fuse Filament Fabrication) process. You can also find more about this in our blog (link to FDM blog). Blog.

We can implement (almost) any painting request. We implement monochrome and airbrush coatings directly in-house. If your project is to be metallized or galvanized, we have a network of professionals with whom we work together on a long-term basis.
