About AMTEC Swiss
AMTEC Swiss AG, based in Steinhausen, is a manufacturer of 3D filament printers and an international distribution organisation in the field of additive manufacturing. The company is a certified distribution partner of innovatiQ GmbH (Feldkirchen near Munich), whose product range spans from FFF filament printers (TiQ 2, TiQ 5, TiQ5 Pro) to the silicone printer LiQ 5 based on Liquid Additive Manufacturing. The portfolio is complemented by 3D pellet printers from AIM3D GmbH, which enable the processing of injection-moulding materials in pellet form. In addition to distribution, AMTEC Swiss builds personalised 3D printing systems up to automated 3D print farms and executes single as well as larger print jobs. The service offering includes consulting on the introduction of 3D printing technology, installation, training, slicing software (Simplify3D) as well as maintenance and support. Application areas include, among others, dental technology, orthopaedics, industry and mould making, food machinery, the automotive industry as well as the watch and jewellery industry.

Materials & Processes
3D filament printing
Low-emission, dust-free additive manufacturing with predictable material consumption and a broad range of materials.
3D silicone printing (Liquid Additive Manufacturing)
Additive manufacturing of silicone parts, including orthopaedic functional parts.
3D pellet printing
Processing of granulate/pellets, making injection-moulding materials usable.
Filament
Various filament materials for FFF printing depending on the application.
Bio-filament (recyclable)
Used, for example, for 3D-printed templates in the food industry.
Silicone
Material for parts produced on the LiQ 5 silicone printer.
