About 3Dokuteam
Das dokuteam NordWest GmbH (3Dokuteam) is a full-service provider for additive manufacturing headquartered in Nottuln in the Münsterland region. Founded in 1990 as a printing service provider, the company has been producing parts as 3D contract printing for over 13 years – from prototype to small series and series production with quantities up to 1,800 and more. The offering includes SLA printing on Formlabs systems (Form 4, Form 4B, Form 4L, Form 4BL), SLS parts in PA12, and the complete path from 3D scanning and reverse engineering to a production-ready CAD file. The material portfolio covers engineering plastics such as ULTEM/PEI, PEEK, PC, ABS, ASA, PA12 and PLA. Parts ranging in size from a one-cent coin to large objects with edge lengths of several meters are produced; every scan is performed with an accuracy of 0.004 mm. Customers come from mechanical engineering, automotive, aerospace, defense, medical technology, agriculture, research and consumer markets. In addition, the company distributes Formlabs printers including installation, maintenance and consumables (Managed Print Service).

Materials & Processes
ULTEM/PEI
High-strength engineering plastic, among other uses for prototype turbines in research.
PEEK
High-temperature and high-performance plastic, e.g. for frame parts in the defense industry.
PA12 (SLS)
Standard material for SLS series parts, e.g. brackets for truck driver cabs.
ABS
Versatile plastic for prototypes and small series such as elbow pipes, connectors and pump housings.
ASA
Weather-resistant plastic, among other uses for series parts in consumer/online retail.
PC
Polycarbonate for robust parts such as label holders in agricultural technology.
PLA
Easily processed plastic for consumer products in quantities exceeding 1,200.
Stereolithography (SLA)
Resin-based process on the Formlabs Form 4 series for precise individual parts and small series.
Laser Sintering (SLS)
Process for durable functional parts and series in PA12.
3D Scan to Part
High-precision digitization of damaged or unavailable spare parts with 0.004 mm accuracy.
Reverse Engineering
Reconstruction of production-ready CAD data from scans or photos.
