3D printing

3D printing refers to manufacturing processes where material is applied layer by layer to create three-dimensional objects.  The process is ideal for functional prototypes and complex designs, for the reduction of multi-part assemblies, and for end-use applications. Other designations for 3D printing are additive manufacturing, additive manufacturing, generative manufacturing and rapid technology. In May 2019, VWH GmbH expanded its location to include a modern technology centre dealing with these areas.
