About 4D SOLUTIONS
4D SOLUTIONS is a provider of industrial additive manufacturing and CNC machining based in Frickenhausen (Baden-Württemberg). The company produces prototypes and series parts from plastic and metal, offering the processes Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Stereolithography (SLA) and Selective Laser Melting (SLM). The portfolio is complemented by 3D scanning services, from point cloud to polygon mesh to surface reconstruction into a true CAD model, as well as 5-axis simultaneous CNC milling with modern CAM support, also for reworking complex 3D-printed parts. According to its own statement, customers come from mechanical and plant engineering as well as medical technology. The company sees itself as a full-service partner covering the entire manufacturing chain from the rapidly produced prototype to the series part. According to its own statement, the company has 15 years of experience in industrial 3D printing; the exact founding year is not documented.

Materials & Processes
Selective Laser Sintering
Complex, fully load-bearing and ready-to-use plastic parts, FDA-compliant, for mechanical and plant engineering.
Stereolithography
Transparent and translucent plastic parts with smooth surfaces and high level of detail.
Selective Laser Melting
Complex metal components with excellent mechanical properties and lightweight construction through topology optimization.
5-axis simultaneous milling
Milled parts made of metal and plastic up to series production, as well as reworking of 3D-printed parts.
3D Scanning
Acquisition of point clouds and watertight polygon meshes with surface reconstruction into a CAD model.
