Krauss Maffei

Krauss Maffei’s powerPrint is an extruder-based system for processing thermoplastic granulate. It prints large-size components with volume up to 10 m3 to industrial standards. Optimal component properties are achieved at affordable material costs. In addition, short set-up times and the use of common software solutions for print preparation enable fast implementation from component design to print. High output capacity at fast print speeds ensures short throughput times of large components.

PowerPrint benefits from KraussMaffei’s many years of expertise in plastic and extrusion to achieve the best possible printing results. This offers various industries new opportunities for efficient production of near net shape components. Typical application fields include moldmaking, prototype construction and manufacturing of elements in furniture construction as well as customized solutions for the water and supply infrastructure. In the foundry industry as well, fast, cost-effective manufacturing of molds with 3D printing models boosts productivity.
