Mass production is the Eldorado of additive manufacturing. It is not easy to achieve and very few companies have been able to cost-effectively produce thousands and even millions of parts using AM technology.
One of these companies is OECHSLER, a major manufacturer of polymer (and ceramic) parts for various key industries, including automotive and sportswear. The German company achieved several world’s first in terms of serial production after building multiple additive production facilities.
Now, under the leadership of Andreas Knoechel, Head of Program Management Additive Manufacturing, the company is going to the next level, targeting “lot size one” and highly customized products.
These include INSOLO, a 3D printed insole for the orthopedic market (and beyond), as well as multiple bike saddles. In addition, the company recently launched an advanced Online Ordering Platform, which empowers clients to place orders for 3D printed parts quickly and redefines the landscape of manufacturing by combining technology and convenience.
