Category: BlogWhen To Switch to Additive Manufacturing
The emergence of new technologies makes for exciting times. Granted, additive manufacturing is hardly new, but ‘rapid prototyping’ as it was once known is now such an inadequate term it’s laughable. With recent partnerships like Adidas & Carbon and Erpro & Chanel opening the floodgates of genuine serial production, AM’s role as a profitable technology for mass-produced finished parts and direct-to-market products is irrefutable.

GEFERTEC, a high-tech outfitter of the Smart Factory and inventor of the new 3DMP metal-printing process, implements 3YOURMIND software. Just 19 kilometers from the Charlottenburg Innovation Center (CHIC) is GEFERTEC’s brand-new Marzahn Application Center. Stephan Kuehr, the tech wizard of the 3YOURMIND team, makes it in 45 minutes. He knows it saves time - short distances in Berlin can actually take longer with a car or public transport.
