Join us at the SV Forum 3D Printing & Scanning Special Interest Group evening for an opportunity to learn about metal additive manufacturing with FIT Technology Group from Germany, a company with over two decades of experience in this field!

This event is being held in conjunction with the Inside 3D Printing Conference & Expo  at the Santa Clara Convention Center.

FIT Technology Group specializes in innovative solutions in  additive manufacturing, especially metal.  Ranging from rapid prototyping to serial production, software, and hardware development, FIT is able to provide various services under one roof, fast and reliably.  Its companies include FIT Production GmbH and netfabb GmbH.

FIT Production GmbH,  a FIT Technology Group company, is one of the largest contract manufacturers for Additive Manufacturing in Germany, with a machine park of several EOS, SLM, Arcam, Objet, Voxeljet and Sintermask machines. FIT Production specializes  in additive manufacturing, serial production, mass customization, additive engineering, for medical technology, automotive industry, aerospace, aviation, and many more.

FIT Production has been using a predecessor software of netfabb Studio for more than 9 years, and it has packed hundreds of build platforms for its machines containing hundreds of thousands of parts.

Thanks to netfabb's unique packing utilities, FIT Production gets a very good packing density for all of their technologies. This is a key factor to being competitive in the market and has contributed to its rapid growth in recent years.  Its quality assurance system - based on netfabb Studio and netfabb Cloud - is capable of tracking all parts that leave its facility. As result within a second, FIT Production is able to recover the logged production process details of every single part that has been produced since 2004.

Furthermore, FIT Production uses netfabb's Selective Space Structures extensively for manufacturing both metal and plastic products. It has created dozens of structure applications for their partners in various industries, such as the automotive and aerospace industries as well as the medical engineering sector. FIT production GmbH is certified by EN ISO 13485:2012 and creates medical implants in mass production.

This session will be preceded by a brief talk from Uniformity Labs.
