3D printing

At Wicro, we always think in terms of functional and efficient plastic solutions. That’s why, in addition to injection molding, we also offer professional 3D printing. This technique is perfect for rapid prototyping, small production runs, and supporting product development.

Where 3D printing offers flexibility and speed, injection molding brings scale and repeatability. Because we have both technologies in-house, we can offer objective advice on what best suits your product, application, and growth plan.

What can you do with 3D printing?

3D printing is a fast and accessible way to bring ideas to life. Whether you need a prototype or a small functional series, we can deliver a ready-to-use model within just a few working days – perfect for testing or presenting. With no mold costs and complete design freedom, 3D printing is ideal for small quantities and short development cycles.

At Wicro, we use FFF technology: a precise printing method where plastic filament is built up layer by layer. Together, we’ll determine the right material – from PLA to fiber-reinforced plastics – and we’ll actively support you in design, application, and manufacturability. We can also develop and apply virtually any color you want during the 3D printing process, fully tailored to your product or brand identity.

From material to application: always the right match

A great 3D-printed part starts with the right material selection. At Wicro, we work with a wide range of technical plastics, including combinations such as ABS with glass fiber (ABS+GF), polyamide with carbon (PA6+CF), polypropylene with carbon (PP+CF), PPA with carbon (PPA+CF), and various ASA compounds. Each material has its own strengths in terms of durability, flexibility, temperature resistance, or finish.

Our engineers get involved from the very beginning to help determine which material fits your product and application best. Whether it’s a visual prototype, a functional test part, or a production tool for internal use – we’ll provide a solution that’s technically sound and practically effective.

Combining 3D printing with injection molding?

Wicro offers a complete solution for every stage of product development – with all the expertise, technology, and production under one roof. 3D printing brings speed, design freedom, and low entry costs. Injection molding is efficient for larger volumes and delivers high, consistent quality. Here’s what combining both technologies gets you:

Speed

Test faster and more realistically with functional models available in just a few working days.

Efficiency

Critically assess your design for form, function, and manufacturability. Stay flexible and easily make adjustments.

Simplicity

Move effortlessly from prototype to series production. A smooth transition, without information loss.

Continuity

Maintain full control over the entire process – from design and validation to series production. One partner, one point of contact.

We’d love to hear about your product and help you develop it in an efficient – and above all worry-free – way. Feel free to reach out for an introduction.
