About D3 Systeme
D3 Systeme GmbH from Velbert implements product ideas from conception through to series production. Its range of services includes CAD design, prototype construction with in-house 3D printers (rapid prototyping), toolmaking with CNC milling, turning and EDM, as well as the production of injection-molded parts on Arburg machines in lot sizes of approximately 200 to 10,000 pieces. In addition to processing common thermoplastics and high-strength plastics for metal substitution, the company performs series milling of plastic and metal parts, manufactures sheet metal components in cooperation with long-standing partners (laser cutting on Bystronic and Trumpf systems), and assembles assemblies made of metal and plastic up to retail-ready packaging. Tool inserts in D3 standard molds and tools made of high-strength aluminum enable cost-effective small series. Industries served include mechanical and plant engineering as well as gastronomy (cocktail machine D3gastro). Fully automatic part measurement (D3 INSPECT) rounds out the offering.

Materials & Processes
Thermoplastics
Processing of almost all common thermoplastics by injection molding.
High-strength plastics
Metal substitution with strengths similar to aluminum at approximately 55% of the weight.
Polyurethane
Use e.g. for small series such as tires with a diameter of approx. 1 m.
Aluminum
Sheet metal processing and high-strength aluminum in toolmaking.
Structural steel
Laser cutting up to 25 mm thickness via partner production.
Stainless steel
Laser cutting up to 20 mm thickness via partner production.
