At Wicro Group<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, we look beyond production alone. We think in smart, functional plastic solutions. That\u2019s why, alongside injection molding<\/a>, we also offer additive manufacturing \u2014 supported by advanced additive manufacturing 3D printers and experienced engineers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s rapid prototyping, functional parts or low volume production, we guide the entire process. From the initial idea to a product that\u2019s ready for the next step.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

What is additive manufacturing?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n \r\n
\r\n\r\n

Additive manufacturing enables plastic parts to be built layer by layer, without the need for tooling. This provides full design freedom and allows you to move quickly during product development.<\/p>\n

In practice, this means faster validation of designs, easy adjustments and short lead times for functional parts. This makes additive manufacturing particularly suitable for development processes where speed and flexibility are key. Within just a few working days, we deliver parts that are ready for testing, assembly or presentation.<\/p>\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n

Every application requires a different approach. That\u2019s why we work with multiple technologies, allowing us to find the right balance between quality, strength and cost. Our additive manufacturing engineers determine the most suitable technology for each project, based on your product and application.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

FDM \/ FFF (filament printing)<\/h6>\r\n
Suitable for functional prototypes and engineering parts. Ideal for fast iterations and small series.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
MJF (Multi Jet Fusion)<\/h6>\r\n
A powder-based technology for strong, dimensionally accurate parts with consistent quality. Highly suitable for series production.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
SLA \/ Resin printing<\/h6>\r\n
Used for applications where detail and surface quality are critical, such as visual models or high-precision components.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n

Material selection as the foundation<\/h2>\r\n\r\n \r\n
\r\n\r\n

A successful printed part starts with the right material. That\u2019s why we work with a wide range of plastics \u2014 from standard materials to high-performance polymers.<\/p>\n
