Additive Manufacturing with High Performance Plastics
Specialized in the process of PBF-LB/ P (Powder Bed Fusion, Laser based, plastics), also known as SLS (Selective Laser Sintering), we currently process the following high-performance plastics as a service. All of them are individually characterized by special properties:
High Temperature – Plastics
PEEK HP 3
PEKK Cf
PPS (Poly Phenylen Sulfit):
PPS PS (natural)
PPS Cf (Carbon fibre)
PPS Gf (Glass fibre)
Medium – Temperature – Plastics
PA6
PA6 MF
TBP
Low – Temperature – Plastics
PP
TPE 360
PA11 Fr
PA11 ESD
Detailed information on the materials will be available soon on this page.

Knowledge and experience
60 years of manufacturing expertise
Our Company was founded in 1961 by Wilfried Rauch as a carpentry. Starting in 1994 we specialized in 4-axis machines on the CNC milling of thermosets and thermoplastics, partly with robot feeding. We produce technical parts in small and medium-sized series for medical device technology and mechanical engineering companies.
Additive Manufacturing
In 2013, we expanded our portfolio with the purchase of an EOSINT P800 for processing PEEK HP3 in powder bed process with laser technology. In the following years, an EOSINT P810 and a Farsoon ST252 P were added. As a specialist for high-performance plastics, prototypes, pre-series and small series form the basis for us on which then series production builds upon it.
With the beta testing of a Farsoon UT 501 P, we once again break new ground within additive manufacturing from February 2022. This machine works with a fiber laser and the FLIGHT technology.
