Your opportunities
The best starting point is rarely the question of what could be printed. It is better to look for parts where current design or manufacturing poses particular challenges.

Three printed segments instead of pattern and mould.
Printed instead of welded. The cooling channels in the rotary table are printed in at the same time.
Hard honeycomb, tough filling: longer service life from a single printing process.
Conical walls, transitions and connections without joints. An example of how thin-walled, fluid-carrying geometries emerge directly from path planning.
Geometries from wire
Typical geometry classes that are complex, uneconomical or impossible to produce conventionally.
Load-optimised connection nodes for frames and support structures. Shapes that cannot be demoulded, made in one piece instead of welded.
Fluid-carrying components with branches and smooth cross-section transitions in one piece, made without drilled holes or plugs.
Closed levers, arms and beams whose wall thickness follows the load path. No casting core, lighter than solid.
Screw conveyors, agitators and impellers with variable pitch, built near-net-shape.
Flanges, ribs and connections printed directly onto tube, shaft or plate. No thick raw material.
Conical walls with integral flange, printed near-net-shape. Sealing and mating surfaces are machined.
Continuously twisted, hollow cross-sections created directly from path planning, without mould or core.
Large ring and wheel geometries are built segment by segment on a base plate, without pattern or mould.

Industries
WIRED3D supports mechanical engineering companies in manufacturing complex metal components, from prototypes to functional, ready-to-install end parts.
When standard solutions are not enough, we develop new manufacturing routes together. WIRED3D produces individual metal components economically from a batch size of one, fast and without costly tooling.
Availability instead of downtime. With digital warehousing and additive manufacturing, spare parts can be produced on demand, even in small quantities or for discontinued components.
Weight-optimised geometries, great design freedom and fast development cycles enable innovative components for demanding aerospace and space applications.
For critical applications, availability, flexibility and technological independence are what count. WIRED3D supports the rapid and resilient production and further development of metal components.
From feasibility study to process development: WIRED3D combines scientific expertise with industrial implementation and creates new opportunities for innovative metal components.
