Aurelien Fussel

3D Printing Program Manager at Alstom

“The founders' AM expertise gathered at the Fraunhofer has been noticeably incorporated into 3D Spark. With the right parameterisation of material and machine, we now achieve an accuracy of ±5%. The automations make these activities more stable, easier and faster, so that our partners in the DB in particular benefit from timely and reliable offers that are not based on a Excel sheet.”

For Manufacturing Service Providers

Turn your website into a lead engine
Every visitor can upload a part. They get instant manufacturability feedback and cost. You receive a qualified RFQ without lifting a finger.
Let’s break it down - Today, suppliers reply to RFQs by email and CAD attachments. It takes time. And it is hard to qualify.
The portal removes that friction.
