About F.R. Additive Technologies
F.R. Additive Technologies GmbH manufactures orthopedic applications such as AFOs, orthoses and positive models in industrial 3D printing, as well as large-format technical plastic components using the FDM process up to 650 × 500 × 800 mm. The process portfolio includes FDM, SLS with PA12, SLA and Polyjet for prototypes, functional samples and series production. In addition, the company offers 3D scanning, reverse engineering, design and engineering services, and 3D-scan-based quality inspection. Following the acquisition of the Multec brand including team, technology and patents, FR Additive also provides maintenance, repairs, spare parts and filament supply for Multec 3D printers of the M500 and M800 series. The core business is orthopedic printing services with skin-contact-certified filaments and high-speed printing technology; a reference customer is the Hessing Stiftung foundation with series production of polypropylene orthoses. The company is located in Wilhelmsdorf in Upper Swabia.
