MMG's production capabilities continue to grow steadily in the field of additive manufacturing. Both in conventional 3D printing in the plastics sector and in additive manufacturing of metal, we are setting standards in component size.

MMG is offering XXL-objects manufactured by a XXL FDM 3D-printer. With its printing dimensions of 2m x 2m x 2m (l x w x h) it is one of the largest industrial 3D-printer. The printer is capable to print high speed with a high geometric accuracy. The filament-based extruder allowes a high flow rate up to 100mm/s (0,9kg/h).

Mecklenburger Metallguss GmbH mainly uses the plastic PLA (polylactic acid) for printing, as it is cost-effective, recyclable, laminable, easy to print and compatible with inorganic and organic molding materials. In addition to PLA and PETG, other commercially available plastics can also be processed. The machine is used for a wide range of tasks, e.g. printing of casting patterns and functional samples of any components.

Hybrid Manufacturing Process

Design and manufacture of small and unconventional geometries is not limited to casting anymore. The MMG HMP supports individual products made from a wide range of materials. The HMP increases the flexibility in the production process.

Using our plastic-based 3D-printing technology it is possible to create individual patterns up to a size of 2x2x2 m. In the metal sector, arc wire welding can easily manufacture spare parts such as tips or even small individual propeller geometries simply and perfectly, giving MMG‘s efficiency a new level of flexibility. From individual parts to small series, different materials can be combined with each other in order to utilize the advantages of the respective properties in a targeted and cost-sensitive manner.
