About IKONUM
IKONUM GmbH & Co. KG is an owner-managed engineering services company based in Nörtershausen (Rhineland-Palatinate). The focus is on product development and design: from idea generation through 3D design, calculations and FMEA to production design and production support. The team develops parts designed for manufacturability for processes such as die casting (magnesium, zinc, aluminium), permanent mould and sand casting, plastic injection moulding, CNC turning and milling parts, sheet metal and welded constructions. In addition, IKONUM designs systems, equipment, jigs and test equipment and plans their delivery, including test and inspection rigs. In-house, a Markforged 3D printer for prototypes and custom parts as well as own workshop capacities are available. Customers come from industries such as automotive, machinery and special machinery construction, automation technology, medical technology, construction machinery, shipbuilding, aircraft construction and the consumer goods industry.
