We guide you from start to finish
When you begin a project with us, a dedicated project engineer will be on-hand to guide you every step of the way and help you choose the right combination of material, technology, and finish. They’ll call on production, Design & Engineering, and finishing specialists to find the best solution for you.
An additive manufacturing NPI
Our proven NPI process carries each idea from concept to scaled production successfully. Together, we’ll determine your project’s requirements; assess design feasibility, and select the optimal materials and finishes. We will identify any unique development needs and validate the design through initial production runs, providing you with all you need to move into serial production. Transparent, collaborative, and tailored to AM, it’s a process you can rely on to deliver the parts you need.
Full-service AM
For many projects, printing is just the beginning. From obtaining industry-specific documentation to post-machining and assembly, organizing it all can be complicated. But not at Materialise Manufacturing. Whether through our own facilities or a close-knit network of trusted suppliers, you’ll find every service you need to create ready-to-use parts right here.
Design for additive manufacturing
Work with our Design & Engineering team on everything from ideation to file preparation and ensure that your file is ready and optimized for 3D printing from the get-go.
Product development
If you want to unlock the benefits additive manufacturing offers for your particular project, it makes sense to design towards them from the outset and fully understand the interplay between your application, production technologies and material requirements. By involving our DfAM-specialized designers in your ideation phase, you’ll get expert insight and advice that’s tailored to your specific needs to get your project off to the best possible start.
Quality and certifications
Materialise means quality. It’s a commitment we make to every project. By adhering to our own internal quality policy and the demands of key regulatory certifications, we deliver high-value services and products that satisfy the needs of our customers, suppliers, and partners.
ISO 9001
All non-flying parts like production tools and prototypes are produced in accordance with our ISO 9001-certified quality management system, which has a strong focus on customer satisfaction and continuous improvement.
