Luvocom 3F focus materials Neuenhauser expands industrial 3D printing with Lehvoss materials

Industrial 3D printing is becoming a more strategic production tool for Neuenhauser Maschinenfabrik. With its approval as an official processor of Lehvoss Group’s Luvocom 3F focus materials, the company is expanding its capabilities for high-performance filament applications, from component development to series production.

Neuenhauser Maschinenfabrik is expanding its activities in the field of additive manufacturing and is now an official processor of the Lehvoss Group’s Luvocom 3F focus materials. This further deepens the company’s expertise in industrial 3D printing and enables it to offer both in-house applications and services for external customers based on qualified high-performance filaments.

For several years, Neuenhauser Maschinenfabrik has operated a dedicated, industry-oriented 3D printing infrastructure for functional and series components. The Luvocom 3F focus materials have now been qualified in Neuenhauser’s print farm, which has been modernized for this purpose. The focus materials stand for a clear materials strategy in industrial FFF printing: three materials for the majority of technical applications, designed for reproducible quality, process stability, and series production capability.

Specifically, the Luvocom 3F focus materials include:

• an unreinforced polyamide with high toughness, very good surface quality, and warp-free printing behavior,

• a carbon-fiber-reinforced PET with high strength, temperature resistance, and low moisture uptake,

• a carbon-fiber-reinforced PPS as a metal replacement with high stiffness and strength, chemical and flammability resistance (UL 94 V0).

“Our goal is to establish additive manufacturing as a reliable production tool in mechanical engineering. The Luvocom 3F focus materials offer a very good combination of industrially relevant properties and stable, reproducible printability,” says Mathis Kleinert, Head of Additive Manufacturing at Neuenhauser Maschinenbau.

From Lehvoss’s perspective, the collaboration is also a logical step. Focusing on a few clearly defined materials enables users to scale additive manufacturing economically and integrate it into existing production environments with process reliability. “Neuenhauser is now part of a growing network of processors and users,” explains Dr. Marcus Rechberger, Product Manager at the Lehvoss Group. “We pursue a cooperative approach to gradually expand our know-how together — always with the aim of making industrial 3D printing even easier, faster, and more cost-effective.”

With its official approval as a processor of the Luvocom 3F focus materials, Neuenhauser is now available as a competent industrial partner for demanding 3D printing applications - from potential analysis and component development through to series production for external customers.
