Additive Manufacturing
The beginning of a new era
People have been talking about additive manufacturing for many years, and the topic will continue to gain momentum, because the potential applications for 3D components are virtually unlimited.
The automotive industry and its suppliers, the aviation, consumer goods and toy industries, mould making (rapid tooling) and medical technology — all have been using 3D components for a very long time. Interest in the quickly and cost-efficiently produced components will also grow in many other sectors, such as art, architecture or landscape design.
In cooperation with our partners, we have succeeded in establishing a comprehensive product portfolio, where every user will find the solution he is looking for.
We offer the following solutions for industrial users:
- Hybrid manufacturing technologies
- Selective laser sintering and laser melting processes
Dr. Kawalla-Nam, Head of Additive Manufacturing Technology: „We bring the highest competence in mechanical engineering to the table, our partners the same in 3D printing. Thus, our customer-oriented solutions are breaking completely new ground in industrial applications.”

The Additive Manufacturing Team
In order to achieve a product portfolio with USP, we need to observe the requirements from the market and from the customers very precisely and take appropriate measures to ensure that our knowledge is incorporated in the machine developments.
Our work is a living process that creates synergies, as we use the know-how of Reichenbacher’s design engineers, who in turn benefit from our expertise. This enables us to continuously optimize and advance our products and push new developments in order to be competitive on the market.
To ensure this, the core team of Dr. Kawalla-Nam, Steven Schmidt, and Lukas Gahn is supported by three additional colleagues: Johannes Reiser, technical sales and key account, Dieter Vonderlind, assembly and manufacturing, and Jurij Welk, software and standardization, who supports in the area of PLC and software development.
