IMAPS project service and consulting for your 3D printing project



What do we offer?


Additive manufacturing processes are unstoppably on the advance and are used in almost all industrial sectors and branches. Especially in the production of personalized products and the manufacture of highly specialized components in small series, which cause high tooling costs and lead times, 3D printing has become the tool of choice in many companies.

Like many other entrepreneurs, would you now like to check whether the use of additive manufacturing technology is an option for your company? At the same time, do you want to avoid overloading your current resources and still arrive at the best solution for you?
The Steinbeis Consulting Center IMAPS offers you comprehensive support and advice for your
3D printing project, from brainstorming, planning and controlling the necessary project steps to the implementation of the solution developed for you. Together with you, we build the bridge between R&D and commercial product and make sure that you can optimally use the advantages of 3D printing for your business objectives. We are also happy to support you in the entire process of product development and optimization, from the first prototype to series production.
