Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, offers completely new possibilities for design. Trovus Tech GmbH, based in Bavaria Germany, specializes in metal 3D printing. “We make the diverse possibilities of 3D printing accessible to companies,” says CEO Patrick Wilden. The young company offers everything from a single source. Starting with the development/design up to the finished component. The biggest advantage of additive manufacturing is a maximum in design freedom. The start-up recently began producing parts for a Swiss bicycle manufacturer. Each component is individually adapted to the customer’s needs and is in better quality than in the die-casting process. Company’s goal is to produce small series for mechanical products and plant engineering equipment.
