About F.R. Additive Technologies
F.R. Additive Technologies GmbH, based in Wilhelmsdorf (Baden-Württemberg), is a service company for industrial 3D printing. The company manufactures AFOs, braces and positive models for orthopedic technology using high-speed FDM as well as large-format parts up to 650 × 500 × 800 mm from engineering plastics. In addition, SLS with PA12 as well as SLA and Polyjet printing with fine surface quality are offered – from one-off pieces and prototypes to series production. A 3D scanning service provides the basis for design, reverse engineering and scan-based dimensional quality inspection. Following the acquisition of the Multec brand, including team, technology and patents, the company also offers maintenance, repairs, spare parts and filaments for Multec printers of the M500 and M800 series. Customers include companies from the orthopedics, medical technology and prototyping sectors.

Post-processing and delivery
Materials and Processes
Polypropylene (PP)
Used in high-speed FDM printing of orthoses and braces with a dimensionally stable, thermoformable and mechanically post-processable surface.
PA12
Powder bed material in the SLS process for stable, detail-accurate functional parts and series.
PLA
Multec filament for general printing applications.
PLA-HT
Temperature-resistant Multec filament from the distribution portfolio.
PETG
Multec filament for tough, practice-oriented parts.
PA-CF
Carbon-fiber-reinforced polyamide filament for rigid engineering parts.
FDM printing
Filament-based process for large-format parts up to 650 × 500 × 800 mm and high-speed orthopedic series production.
SLS printing
Powder bed-based process for functional parts and series made of PA12.
SLA printing
Resin-based process for highly precise parts with fine surface finish.
Polyjet printing
Resin-based process for highly precise parts with fine surface finish.
3D scanning / reverse engineering
Capture of existing parts, molds and body geometries as a basis for design, adaptation and printing.
