3D4BRASS - The First 3D printer for brass

3D4MEC, a leading company for capital and know-how in the production of 3D printers for metals, was created as a spin-off of the Au. Te.Bo group to meet the growing need of speeding up production of metal mechanical components. Spa, a company which has been operating in the mechanical and mechatronic sectors since 1963 and constructs OEM automatic machines, needed to reduce time and production costs of its mechanical components, while breaking loose from external suppliers and reducing warehouse costs. After the financial crisis of 2008 and the arrival of China on the markets, it was necessary to find a solution to make production more flexible and to amaze customers by producing several prototypes of various sizes and complex geometries, and doing it faster than the competition. The market, however, lacked the specialized solutions of additive manufacturing for the production of mechanical components.
