About WIRED3D
WIRED3D is a development partner for metallic components headquartered in Tettnang with a laboratory in Weingarten (Baden-Württemberg). Founded in 2025 and rooted at RWU Ravensburg-Weingarten University, the company manufactures components using its own in-house developed DED 3D printing technology (additive metal 3D printing) for large-format parts. The portfolio covers prototypes and functional end-use parts that can replace castings, forgings or welded assemblies, as well as multimaterial components with novel property combinations. In addition to manufacturing, WIRED3D offers engineering services from feasibility studies through process development to production-ready manufacturing strategies, plus spare parts production based on digital warehousing, including for discontinued components. In-house hardware and software development, process-specific algorithms and material evaluation form the foundation of its offering. Customer groups come from mechanical engineering, special-purpose machinery, Space & Aerospace, Defence, spare parts manufacturing, and Research & Development.
