About 3Dock
3Dock UG is an engineering and manufacturing service provider headquartered in Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld on the DESY site. The company manufactures prototypes, single components, and small series using industrial 3D printing processes (FDM, SLS, SLA, SLM/DMLS) and precise CNC milled parts in 3- and 5-axis machining from metal and technical plastics. The service spectrum is supplemented by CAD design (SolidWorks, Fusion360), FEM simulation including composite and sandwich design, as well as 3D scanning and reverse engineering with accuracies up to 0.04 mm. A proprietary Cloud Manufacturing platform (SaaS/IaaS) enables digital process control from CAD file to finished component; via a subscription model (3D Printing Flatrate), customers have access to scalable manufacturing capacity without minimum order quantities. Areas of application include drones and UAV, maritime and offshore, mechatronics, electronics, machine and plant engineering, aviation, automotive, and medical technology. Development, data processing, and production control are handled completely in-house in Hamburg; delivery is made within 48 hours within Germany and throughout Europe.
