                           Grindaix cooperates with 3D printing professionals!

                           In cooperation with renowned 3D printing experts and SLM machine manufacturers, Grindaix has
                           been able to establish the entire value-adding chain for the production of 3D printing components.
                           This includes know-how and experience with regard to a functionally optimised product design, the
                           corresponding 3D-compatible CAD design as well as the manufacture of components, including
                           post-processing steps, for a Grindaix nozzle quality that meets the requirements. Furthermore,
                           field tests are carried out on simulation test benches before being tested in an industrial context
                           on machine tools. The iterative improvement of the nozzle products then follows on from this.

                           The challenges of producing Grindaix nozzles using 3D printing lie in the choice of laser sintering   INTERNAL CYLINDRICAL GRINDING

                           metal powder granularity, achieving a homogeneous material consistency (print volume) as well
                           as in process control with regard to layer thicknesses, sinter densities and the resulting surface    For the optimum supply of internal cylindrical grinding processes, we have added
