Low-volume · Lambda-X
Lambda-X, an ophthalmic systems manufacturer, uses additive manufacturing to produce custom parts such as dust covers, housings, indicators, inserts, lens holders and panels for high‑complexity, low‑volume applications. The process enables short lead times for prototypes and rapid design changes without additional tooling, supporting mass customisation and reduced inventory.

Over 200 tools · VDL Nedcar
Tenco supplied over 200 non‑conventional assembly tools to VDL Nedcar for the production of BMW X1 and Mini vehicles. A specific tool for the BMW X1 was reduced from 5 kg to 1.2 kg using printed parts and carbon tubes, eliminating rework and maintenance.
Additive Manufacturing, DLP · IR sensors
Bioracer Motion
Tenco DDM developed high‑end infrared sensors for Bioracer Motion, a cyclist posture analysis system. The sensors were redesigned for attachment to the rider’s body and produced using DLP additive manufacturing with wall thicknesses under 1 mm and a matte black lacquer finish. The system uses 22 IR sensors to map cyclist movements accurately.

Molecubes (Bruker)
Molecubes, a Bruker subsidiary, needed to streamline the supply chain for its preclinical imaging cubes. Tenco DDM provided additive manufacturing, post‑processing, heating element production, assembly and full inspection to deliver end‑use parts, including carbon‑fiber and composite components.

Ridley Bikes
Ridley Bikes developed the Triton Fast triathlon bike in collaboration with top athletes, using additive manufacturing for functional components such as top tube packs, storage compartments, and a hydration system. Tenco DDM produced these parts using DLP and FDM processes with materials including Loctite IND 475, PETG, and a rubber-like material, enabling rapid design iteration and mass customization.
SLA, DLP · Housings and buttons
200 Units
Tenco DDM redesigned and produced the first batch of 200 Hable One smartphone controllers, delivering housings and buttons via SLA and DLP additive manufacturing. The project aimed to make assistive technology more accessible to people with disabilities.
