The Belgian On-Demand Manufacturing center for 3D Systems, formerly LayerWise. It is a world-class facility with deep expertise in Direct Metal Printing (DMP) and other additive technologies, serving high-tech industries like aerospace and healthcare.
Core services include on-demand manufacturing of prototypes, functional parts, and serial production components using a wide range of additive technologies. They also provide comprehensive finishing services, including CNC machining, heat treatment, surface finishing, and advanced quality inspection and validation.
Their entire business is providing advanced manufacturing services. This includes Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) consultancy, application engineering to identify and develop use-cases for 3D printing, and producing custom parts that are impossible to make with traditional methods.
World-leading expertise in Direct Metal Printing (DMP). Also offers Stereolithography (SLA), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), and MultiJet Printing (MJP). The facility has extensive post-processing capabilities and advanced metrology, including CMM and CT scanning for part validation.
Healthcare (Medical & Dental), Aerospace & Defense, Automotive & Motorsports, Semiconductors, and high-tech industrial machinery.
Offers a vast portfolio of over 150 materials, including various grades of Titanium, Aluminum, Stainless Steel, and other metal alloys; a wide range of production-grade plastics and composites; and elastomers and waxes.
As a service bureau, they accept a wide range of 3D CAD file formats for quoting and production, including STL, STEP, and IGES.
The Leuven site continues to be a key R&D hub for metal additive manufacturing within the global 3D Systems organization, building on its pioneering legacy from LayerWise.
