3D printing in plastics - the revolution for efficient production
3D printing plastics has changed the rules of the game for industrial manufacturing. With this technology, we can create precision-engineered components, prototypes and spare parts faster and more cost-effectively than ever before. From automotive and aerospace to medical technology and electronics – the possibilities are almost endless.
Why choose 3D printing plastic? Because it gives you the freedom to produce complex geometries, reduce material waste and accelerate your time to market. Let's explore how this technology can empower your business.

Material selection in 3D printing plastic
- PA11 – Abrasion resistance and impact resistance.
- PA12 – Durable and chemical resistant, perfect for tough environments.
- ABS – Easily processed and impact resistant, excellent for prototyping and covers.
- PETG – A flexible material that is resistant to temperature and moisture changes.
- PEEK – High-performance plastic for extreme temperature and chemical exposure.
- TPU – Flexible and durable, used for seals and flexible components.
- ESD-material – Protects against electrostatic discharge, important in electronics.
Which material is best suited for 3D printing in plastic depends on your requirements for strength, temperature resistance and function.
Plastic 3D printing techniques
Within 3D printing in plastic materials, there are a number of different technologies to choose from depending on the application, precision requirements and mechanical properties.
- FDM – Simple and cost-effective method, perfect for prototypes and simpler parts in ABS, PETG or TPU.
- SLS – Creates strong and functional parts in e.g. PA12, without the need for support structures. Good for end products.
- SLA – Provides very high precision and smooth surfaces. Used for detailed components, e.g. in medicine or jewelry.
- MJF – Fast and efficient method for small series and functional prototypes with good strength and level of detail.
- STEP – New technology that combines high precision with robust parts in e.g. ABS. Well suited for series production.
Depending on needs, other methods can also be used, such as resin-based techniques or metal-based 3D printing.
What you can do with 3D printing in plastic
With 3D printing plastic you break the old limitations. Complex geometries that were impossible to manufacture traditionally suddenly become easy to realize. The material is used optimally - you only pay for what you actually use. And whether you need a single copy or a small series, you can scale production up and down exactly as your needs require.
This isn't just a new technology - it's a new way of thinking about manufacturing. One that gives you full control and total flexibility in a world where speed and adaptability are everything.
