About 3Dstrong
3Dstrong GmbH, founded in 2018 and based in Hamburg-Steinwerder, specialises in additively manufactured components made of thermoplastic and fibre-reinforced plastics. The offering includes contract manufacturing using FDM on 15 machines (build size up to 400 x 400 x 400 mm), precise stereolithography (SLA) with light-curing resins, and CNC milling of aluminium and plastics on a high-speed gantry milling machine. In addition, the company offers CAD design in Catia V5, FEM analysis, product development, post-processing such as coating and intelligent joining, as well as metrological inspection. Production serves, among others, the aerospace, shipbuilding, wind energy, electronics and automotive/e-mobility sectors, including manufacturing aids, jigs, ESD-protective housings and, in 2020, around 15,000 disinfectant dispensers for the Hamburg school authority. Alongside its own products such as dispensers and stand columns, 3Dstrong offers training and consulting on 3D printing; processes follow ISO 9001 as a guideline.
