About Us – Expertise from Saarland
CADitive Solutions is an engineering and manufacturing service provider for additive manufacturing based in Gersheim in Saarland. The company produces functional prototypes, one-off parts, and series production parts using FDM and SLA processes with a build volume of up to 340 x 320 x 340 mm. The focus is on carbon-fiber-reinforced materials such as ASA-CF, PA6-CF, PPA-CF, and PPS-CF with heat resistance above 110 °C, complemented by engineering thermoplastics such as PETG, TPU 95A, PLA, and ASA as well as hybrid multi-material printing in a single pass. The service portfolio includes CAD design with DfAM optimization, reverse engineering via high-precision 3D scanning with the creation of editable STEP files, data checks and geometry repair, technical consulting on feasibility, material selection, and cost-effectiveness, as well as supply chain optimization. The team, consisting of a certified state technician, a prospective mechanical engineer, and a business economist with a technical focus, serves industries such as drones/UAV, automotive, and mechanical engineering, especially SMEs. Series from 500 parts per week are produced in reproducible quality, with delivery via express shipping or pickup, and inspection reports available on request.

Materials & Processes
ASA, carbon-fiber-reinforced
UV- and weather-resistant composite with high stiffness and HDT up to 110 °C for outdoor use and end-use parts.
PA6, carbon-fiber-reinforced
Tough nylon-carbon for mechanically highly stressed parts with chemical resistance to oils and greases.
PPA, carbon-fiber-reinforced
High-temperature polyamide for thermally extremely demanding applications (on request).
PPS, carbon-fiber-reinforced
High-performance polymer for applications where conventional plastics fail thermally (on request).
PETG
Tough all-rounder for durable parts, chemically resistant and hard to ignite.
TPU 95A (HF)
Shore 95A elastomer for seals and damping, abrasion-resistant, oil-resistant, and vibration-damping.
PLA / Tough PLA
Economical material for rapid design iterations as well as form and fit samples with high detail accuracy.
ASA
UV- and temperature-resistant material for structural parts in outdoor use.
FDM/FFF printing
Large-format and series production up to 340 × 320 × 340 mm, specialized in carbon-fiber composites.
SLA printing
High-resolution process for intricate parts with smooth surfaces.
Hybrid multi-material printing
Combination of different materials such as ASA-CF and TPU in a single print job, e.g. permanently integrated seals.
Thermal post-processing (annealing)
Increases the mechanical properties of CF composite parts after controlled material drying.
