• Reduce equipment commissioning and utilization time with generic software solutions

• Increase output efficiency and profitability

• Meet high design flexibility

• Not limited to individual or series production

Product introduction

powerPrint is an extruder-based system for processing thermoplastic granulates. For large-format additive manufacturing up to 10 m³, it is the reliable and fast industrial solution, enabling efficient production of near-net-shape components. With precisionPrint, KraussMaffei presents a high-performance SL (stereolithography) solution, suitable for industrial-scale automated production. It is a manufacturing solution with high output rates for the cost-efficient production of plastic parts meeting the highest requirements for 

surface quality and detail resolution. The highly automated system uses printing resins cured by laser. 

Application area

Medical, electronics and electrical appliances, leisure and sports, foundry industry, furniture and construction, infrastructure, etc.
