Hofmann – Ihr Impulsgeber / Expertise / 3D printing

3D printingThe innovative impact for unique results.

3D printing is revolutionising toolmaking. Customers get the best possible result through innovative design geometries. At Hofmann Impulsgeber, we’re familiar with these techniques. You’ll benefit from our comprehensive know-how. We’ve recognised the potential of 3D printing from the very beginning and have developed in-depth expertise.

Patented technology from the industry pioneer.

Hofmann Impulsgeber uses patented LaserCUSING® technology from industry pioneer Concept Laser for 3D printing. In this process, developed in Germany, fine powdered metal is melted locally with laser beams. The desired component is built up layer by layer by repeatedly lowering the bottom of the assembly space during the 3D printing process, applying a new layer of material and then melting it locally.

3D printing has many advantages

Significantly greater design possibilities compared to conventional production methods
Almost all hollow structures
Mechanical properties comparable to conventional steels
Innovative ideas and competitive advantages through the introduction of completely new functional elements in the mould itself
