About us
Aross 3D GmbH from Deggendorf is a materials specialist in rapid prototyping and manufactures prototypes and small series in plastics and metal. Its service portfolio includes 3D printing (plastics and metal), small-series production, vacuum casting including even long-fiber-reinforced high-performance plastics, metal casting including pure silver and aluminium alloys, CNC turning and CNC milling, 3D design as well as materials development for special customer requirements. In the fine casting manufactory, decorative and hybrid casting processes are used, for example for trim strips up to 2 metres in length or highly durable everyday objects, including finishing by nickel plating or gold plating. Production takes place in the company's own production hall at the headquarters in Deggendorf; model and mould making or finishing of raw cast parts is performed on CNC machining centres with a work envelope of 400 x 200 x 25 cm. Customers come from the automotive and mechanical engineering, tool and mould making, architecture, art and product development sectors.

Materials & Processes
3D printing (plastics and metal)
Visual and functional models in quantities of 1 to 50 pieces depending on size with 3, 7 or 14 days delivery time.
Vacuum casting
Small series of plastics; for the first time, the production of long-fiber-reinforced, complex components in vacuum casting was achieved.
Metal casting
Casting of metal alloys, pure silver in minting quality and high-strength aluminium alloys.
CNC turning and milling
Single parts, small and medium series from machinable non-ferrous metals, steels and plastics; work envelope up to 400x200x25 cm.
AROSS high-performance plastic
High-strength, highly heat-resistant plastic developed in-house.
Aross metal alloy Deko
Alloy for the decorative casting process used for decorating furniture, doors and walls.
Aross metal alloy Durable
Alloy with the highest impact strength for highly stressed everyday objects such as door handles in accordance with DIN 1906 Class III.
Pure silver
Casting process for pure silver bars in minting quality (fine silver casting).
High-strength, self-hardening aluminium alloy
Weldable alloy, developed for the "Christian Garden" in Berlin.
Stainless steel
Inserts and base bodies in the hybrid casting process in combination with Aross alloys.
Plastics and casting resins
Wide selection of plastics and casting resins for prototypes and small series with near production quality.
