Metshape

MetShape GmbH is a production service provider specializing in sinter-based additive manufacturing of small and micro metal parts. The company was spun off from Pforzheim University in April 2019 and convinced the jury of the funding program “Young Innovators” of the federal state of Baden-Württemberg in the way that a one-year start-up funding was granted. The idea to found the technology start-up arose during a research project on the recycling of rare-earth magnets, in the context of which the Lithography-based Metal Manufacturing (LMM) technology was developed. This technology makes it possible to print high-precision metal components with exceptionally good surfaces. Meanwhile MetShape has developed a unique process know-how and focused especially on the sintering process and consequently also offers services alongside the part production with the LMM technology.
