3D Printing - Transforming the Engineering Process at HECHT

Innovation Taking Shape – At HECHT, we leverage cutting-edge technology to make our development processes more efficient and flexible. Our 3D printer is more than just a tool – it’s an innovation accelerator. While it occasionally produces fun items like a custom pen holder, its true value lies in supporting our technical development in a highly functional way.

In the mechanical engineering industry, the ability to quickly implement and validate new concepts is crucial. In the past, prototypes had to be laboriously manufactured in the workshop or outsourced, leading to long wait times. Today, we can produce complex components in-house within hours or days, allowing us to test form, function, and fit at an early stage. This enables us to iterate and refine designs much faster – a key advantage in product development.

But it’s not just about prototypes. Our 3D printer is also used to create custom assembly aids and precision tools that optimize our processes. These tailor-made solutions improve efficiency and increase flexibility in production, ensuring that our manufacturing workflows run smoothly and effectively.

By integrating 3D printing into our development process, we shorten innovation cycles, reduce costs, and enhance our ability to solve complex technical challenges. For us, 3D printing isn’t just a nice-to-have – it’s an essential tool that helps us develop smarter, faster, and more efficiently.
