Exentis is the inventor and pioneer of Exentis 3D Mass Customization® 3D screen printing technology.

Exentis provides a comprehensively patented 3D technology platform.

Exentis is the only 3D printing company in the world that is able

to handle large-scale production:

Industrialized Additive Manufacturing. Offering free choice of materials.

Exentis is a technology company that develops comprehensive production

solutions for its customers within development projects and also handles

the production of components and semi-finished goods.

It focuses particularly on the development of customised materials.

Customers then decide whether Exentis should make the components or

they should acquire their own production licence and complete the manufacturing

work at their own site. In the latter case, Exentis acts as a one-stop shop and

supplies the process expertise, the Exentis 3D production unit(s), printing screens,

pastes and, if necessary, the operating personnel.

Exentis 3D printing technology is universally applicable: for industrial parts

made of metal and ceramics or for the clean-room production of pharmaceutical

or bioprinting products.

Instead of costly tool conversions, the customer can implement any desired

geometric adjustments within a few days using new screen sets.

Rapid tooling, for example, offers a considerable competitive advantage

over injection moulding technology.

Exentis market and technology segments



Exentis 3D applications

Industry

The 3D solution to the problem

is the core element for customers

when handling industrial applicati-

ons. The huge flexibility offered

by Exentis 3D Mass Customization®

is becoming an increasingly im-

portant issue. At Exentis, screens

replace tool or casting mould

production with its lengthy and

expensive methods – and Exentis

makes the screens – within

24 hours, if requested.

Examples of components

1. Casting filters

2. Stator laminations

3. Industrial parts

4. Pressure sensors

Environment

Exentis develops products

and components for eco-friendly

energy generation or public

sector customers. The share of

semi-finished products is also

constantly growing in this field.

As a result, the significance of

Industrialized Additive Manufactu-

ring is steadily increasing in the

supplier sector too.


1. Solar receivers

2. Water filters

3. Fuel cells

4. Cooling structures

Pharmaceuticals & Medical

The versatility and breadth

achieved by Exentis 3D Mass

Customization® is apparent

because it can process so

many materials. They range

from materials for functional

components to innovative

pharmaceutical drug delivery

systems or 3D bioprinting. It is

possible to produce various types

of human tissue by printing


1. 3D biotissue

2. Drug delivery systems

3. Diagnosis sensors

4. 3D electrodes
