This additional capacity will enable Steinbach to build on recent momentum and further scale its serial production, meeting the high demand for additively manufactured ceramic components across all major industrial regions of the world.
“After many years of working with LCM technology, growing our 3D printer fleet is a natural response to increasing market demand,” stated Volker Steinbach, CEO of Steinbach AG. “Coming from various industries such as machine engineering, measuring and sensor technologies, and MedTech, our customers rely on consistent quality, reliability, and long-term production continuity.”
“Besides, we have strengthened our post-processing capabilities to 13 furnaces, enabling us to reduce delivery times for prototypes to three to four weeks. By expanding Steinbach AG’s LCM-based machine park, we have scaled our rigorous quality standards to meet customer expectations at mass production level, further reinforcing our position as a trusted manufacturing partner for high-performance ceramic components,” Steinbach added.
Dr Johannes Homa, CEO of Lithoz, commented, “This investment by Steinbach AG showcases innovation-leading OEMs increasingly use experienced contract manufacturers within our LCM-based Ceramic 3D Factory network to open a low-threshold access to successfully explore new business and engineering opportunities. After building up LCM technology expertise for ten years, Steinbach AG is now reaping the rewards of taking the leap. With seven LCM printers operating at full capacity and a profound understanding of industry challenges and needs, the company is fully leveraging the serial production capabilities of ceramic 3D printing. Lithoz’ Ceramic 3D Factory, our global network of contract manufacturers and partners, has arrived at the frontier of industrial use cases and applications and keeps pushing.”
