Service provider for prototypes, models, exhibits and small series using 3D printing, vacuum casting, RIM and CNC machining
4D Concepts GmbH
Frankfurter Straße 74, 64521 Groß-GerauNew on Amplifa
Prototype manufacturer since 1995 – everything from a single source
4D Concepts GmbH was founded in 1995 by Dipl.-Ing. Rainer Neumann and is a model and prototype manufacturing company based in Groß-Gerau in the Rhine-Main region. The 20-strong team produces prototypes, models, exhibits and small series – from the initial idea through design and 3D scanning to the finished series. Various layer-based additive manufacturing processes are used: 3D color printing (CJP), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), MultiJet 3D printing (MJP), PolyJet printing, Stereolithography (SLA), Multi Jet Fusion as well as filament printing with fiber reinforcement (FFF/CFF). In addition, the duplication processes of vacuum casting and Reaction Injection Molding (RIM/low-pressure injection molding) are offered for small series with production-grade material properties, along with conventional machining such as CNC milling, turning, laser cutting and surface finishing. Customers come from the automotive and consumer goods industries, mechanical engineering and medical technology. The company also sells 3D printer systems from 3D Systems, including consulting, service and support.

MultiJet 3D printing
High accuracy and edge sharpness for detail-rich prototypes.
PolyJet 3D printing
Fine-dimensional prototypes with good surface properties.
Stereolithography
Very good surface structures for functional and presentation models.
Multi Jet Fusion
Functional parts for prototypes and small series.
Filament printing with fiber reinforcement
Reinforced plastic parts for technical applications.
Vacuum casting
Duplication process for small series with production-grade material properties.
Reaction Injection Molding (low-pressure injection molding)
Small series of plastic parts with production-grade material properties.
CNC milling
Conventional machining for combination with additive processes.
Laser cutting
Cutting of sheet metal parts for prototypes and models.
