Additive Manufacturing is a key technology in the area of modern and efficient production technologies. Its advantages have most effect where parts in small quantities, individually tailored components or complex geometries are needed. Additive manufacturing processes are already commonly used in small and medium-sized businesses, especially additive manufacturing of prototypes for design or function (Rapid Prototyping) has taken hold over the past years. But the importance of additive manufacturing of final products up to small batch series (Rapid Manufacturing) is also increasing.
Material development
GMBU e.V. develops materials for additive manufacturing, especially for additive material extrusion with thermoplastics (Fused Deposition Modeling). Together with partners from industry and research we develop materials for other techniques processing plastics, too. Our activities cover functionalization of materials,
Functional prototyping
As a part of R&D projects and customer orders different prototypical solutions and product developments up to small series have been realized.Prototypes and engineered products that were successfully realized thanks to additive processes include: Additionally, we handle process-related developments
Research services
Our service profile includes research and development services along the entire additive process chain. For this GMBU e.V. is equipped with modern industrial-scale and laboratory-scale manufacturing machines to produce application-specifically modified materials for additive manufacturing processes, to form them
Technical equipment
For lab-scale plastics processing we use the following equipment and machines: Additionally, the following equipment is available for plastics evaluation and testing: The hardware possibilities for additive plastics processing through material extrusion (Fused Deposition Modeling) include: Additive manufacturing and
