Consultation

As an experienced and ISO 9001-certified 3D printing service provider, AM Pioneers supports companies with comprehensive 3D printing services to help them evaluate their manufacturing requests from both a technical and economic perspective.

As part of a detailed feasibility analysis, we examine the feasibility of your applications in the fields of metal 3D printing, ceramic 3D printing, and plastic 3D printing. In doing so, we evaluate opportunities for design, mechanical, functional, and economic optimization through additive manufacturing.

In addition, we compare additive manufacturing technologies with conventional manufacturing processes to identify the technically and economically optimal solution for your application. Based on this, we recommend the most cost-effective 3D printing services for your project.

The key advantage over traditional shaping processes in mass production: 3D printing completely eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming molds. While the production of a mass-production mold often takes 5 to 6 months, metal 3D printing, ceramic 3D printing, and plastic 3D printing enable the production of iteratively optimized components in just 2 to 3 weeks. As a 3D printing service provider, we see this advantage in practice every day.

    FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About Our 3D Printing Services

    What 3D printing services does AM Pioneers offer?

    We offer industrial 3D printing services for metal, ceramic, and plastic components—from design and material consulting to series production and post-processing.

    As a specialized 3D printing service provider, we support companies in the mechanical engineering, medical technology, aerospace, energy, and research and development sectors.

    We offer 3D printing services for various additive manufacturing technologies in the fields of metal 3D printing, ceramic 3D printing, and plastic 3D printing.

    Binder Jetting – Metal 3D printing and ceramic 3D printing

    Binder Jetting is a sintering-based additive manufacturing process for the cost-effective series production of complex metal or ceramic components. The process consists of three steps: printing, debinding, and sintering.

    In the field of metal 3D printing and ceramic 3D printing, we work with several Binder Jetting systems from the manufacturer Desktop Metal at our Technology Center in Esslingen. The process chain is complemented by modern sintering technologies from Carbolite Gero for processing a wide variety of materials.

    Stereolithography (SLA) – Ceramic 3D Printing

    Ceramic 3D printing using the SLA (stereolithography) process is based on VAT photopolymerization (VPP). In this process, a liquid, light-sensitive resin is cured layer by layer using a UV laser.

    In Esslingen, we work with systems from the manufacturer 3DCeram, which developed this technology specifically for the industrial 3D printing of high-performance technical ceramics.

    PµSL Micro 3D Printing – High-Resolution Plastic 3D Printing
    Using the PµSL process, we manufacture high-precision components with extremely fine details in the micrometer range. While conventional DLP 3D printers typically achieve resolutions of 50–100 µm, our S240 system from Boston Micro Fabrication enables an optical resolution of up to 10 µm with dimensional tolerances of ±20 µm.

    This technology is particularly well-suited for high-precision plastic 3D printing in microfluidics, medical technology, and micromechanics.

    DLP 3D Printing – High-Resolution Plastic 3D Printing

    In the field of plastic 3D printing, we work with modern DLP 3D printers from Elegoo and ETEC in addition to FDM and SLA technologies.

    In the DLP (Digital Light Processing) process, a liquid photopolymer material is cured layer by layer using light. This allows for the production of highly precise and complex plastic components with excellent surface quality.

    Modern DLP 3D printers are particularly suitable for:

    • delicate geometries
    • high-resolution components
    • functional prototypes
    • design samples
    • medical applications

    FDM 3D Printing – Cost-Effective Plastic 3D Printing

    The FDM (Fused Filament Fabrication) process is an additive manufacturing process in the field of plastic 3D printing. In this process, a thermoplastic filament is heated, melted, and applied layer by layer through a nozzle.

    This process is particularly suitable for:

    • large housing components
    • functional components
    • fixtures
    • technical plastic components
    • cost-effective small-batch production

    Metal 3D printing is particularly well-suited for:

    • complex functional components
    • lightweight structures
    • replacement parts
    • Production components
    • Tools and fixtures

    Additive metal manufacturing processes, in particular, enable a high degree of design freedom and cost-effective production of complex geometries.

    Ceramic 3D printing enables the production of high-temperature-resistant and wear-resistant components with complex geometries for industrial applications.

    Engineering ceramics are particularly suitable for:

    • High-temperature applications
    • Electrical insulation
    • Wear protection
    • Lightweight construction
    • Chemically resistant components

    Modern DLP 3D printers enable exceptionally high detail resolution and surface quality in plastic 3D printing.

    This makes the process ideal for:

    • delicate components
    • high-precision geometries
    • microcomponents
    • medical technology
    • design and functional prototypes

    In addition to our industrial 3D printing services, we offer comprehensive sintering services for metals. Sintering is a key process step in sinter-based additive manufacturing processes such as metal 3D printing, as components only achieve their final strength and material properties through the thermal compaction process.

    At our technology center in Esslingen, we use state-of-the-art high-temperature sintering furnaces from Carbolite Gero to process a wide variety of materials and process atmospheres. For more information about our sintering furnace, please visit the following link: https://am-pioneers.com/en/htk-8/

    As a 3D printing service provider, we combine modern additive manufacturing technologies with extensive expertise in materials and processes.

    Our 3D printing services include:

    • Reverse Engineering
    • Feasibility Studies
    • Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM)
    • Material consulting
    • Prototype manufacturing
    • Series production
    • Post-processing and quality assurance

    This is how we support companies throughout the entire additive manufacturing process chain—from the initial concept to the finished component.

    Yes, AM Pioneers is an ISO 9001- and TISAX-certified 3D printing service provider with its own technology center in Esslingen. Our certifications ensure documented processes, consistent quality, and the responsible handling of sensitive customer data.
