TÜV SÜD AG

Additive manufacturing and the technology behind it, 3D printing, are on the rise, especially in Germany. More and more companies are already relying on the new manufacturing technology to print spare parts or series products. TÜV SÜD offers you a comprehensive service portfolio in the field of additive manufacturing and thus good prospects for the future. The expectations for the use of the technology in series production are high: additive manufacturing enables completely new designs and a significant shortening of supply chains - with correspondingly lower time and costs. However, numerous requirements and standards must also be met. The specialists at TÜV SÜD Product Service are at your side, offering a broad service portfolio based on a total of eight different subject areas. This provides all market participants with the appropriate support.
