Manufacturing Processes
KREATIZE offers additive manufacturing processes (FDM, MJM, SLS & SLM) and traditional fabrication processes (CNC Waterjet Cutting, CNC-Lasercutting, CNC-Turning & CNC-Milling). Offering over 20 different varieties of plastics and metals, KREATIZE’s milling service is tailor-made for prototyping and for carrying out functional testing. For applied additive manufacturing processes, we are capable of producing finished parts directly from 3D CAD data, without relying on custom tools. Hence, our goal is to significantly reduce production costs and time.
