Digital value chain – our 3D-printing concept for your future success

We offer you a service portfolio with unique solution approaches along the entire 3d-printing value chain for successful additive transformation in your company.

Starting with the use of part screening to determine the components that can be additively manufactured, through additive preparation, which includes part digitisation, product protection and specific surface configurations, to component production and the storage of data in a digital parts warehouse:

With our solution approaches, we cover these topics, individually tailored to your requirements so that you can get started with additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, in your company and be optimally prepared for the future with our related services.

We solve problems – before they arise

Quality management

Quality management

Over the years, we have built up extensive know-how in the field of additive manufacturing. From manufacturing processes and materials to quality standards and processes, innovative solutions have been designed for series production and spare parts production. We make this know-how available to other companies in individual quality management workshops.

Part screening

In part screening, we jointly look at your product portfolio and your individual problems in terms of parts availability.Through a comprehensive analysis we define potential and work out a concept for the deployment of additive manufacturing in order to solve your problems sustainably.

Addative Preperation

Additive preparation

The foundation for additive manufacturing of components is created with the help of additive preparation. In addition to the creation of 3D models, this comprises product protection through exclusive branding and individual surface design by means of specific texturing.

Graphics, design and 2D printing services

In addition to additive manufacturing, our service portfolio also includes 2D printing services tailored to your needs within the areas of design, graphics and visualisation. Whether flyers, posters or brochures, we're happy to help you. Just get in touch with us!

Swift help – difficulties in procuring components?

Do you have acute problems with the procurement of components, with long delivery times and missing suppliers? Then component procurement with AMS is the perfect solution for you.

As an all-in-one provider we help you to solve current and future supply problems.

  1. Contact us

    Make a non-binding enquiry now and feel free to send us advance information concerning your requirements for the components in question (material description, size parameters, number of units, images, etc.).

  2. Feasibility analysis

    We will contact you and, during an initial meeting, discuss all of the necessary information as well as the feasibility and the later course of the component manufacturing.

  3. Individual solution concept

    After the feasibility of the requested components has been positively verified, we will develop a solution concept for your individual problem and show you possible ways to implement the components.

  4. Component production

    Once all the necessary prerequisites are in place, the components are manufactured before being delivered to you. In addition, you can make use of our digital parts warehouse in order to be able to access your data in future, too.

Who we are – the team behind AMS

At Additive Manufacturing Solutions (AMS) we have placed the focus on constantly adapting to our dynamic market environment. Using additive manufacturing we have succeeded in creating long-term and sustainable added value and solutions for our company. In recent years, we have dealt with all topics relating to materials, manufacturing processes, quality guidelines and digital transformation in additive manufacturing along the entire value chain.

We have thus made it our mission to make available to you our unique competence in order to jointly solve the current problems of your company. We help you set up your business successfully and sustainably for the future with the help of additive manufacturing.

Thanks to the cooperation with our partner AMS - Additive Manufacturing Solutions Daimler Truck AG and the use of additive manufacturing, we succeeded - despite a tight timeline - in implementing a final product that meets our high quality requirements. The AMS team provided us with competent advice throughout the entire project, in line with their own high quality standards. We were very satisfied from the initial contact, to the project consulting, to the final delivery.

Ben Röhlig

Lead Product Developer Cargo, Bergamont Fahrrad Vertrieb GmbH

Additive manufacturing, in combination with highly targeted part screening, offers us the possibility to identify relevant replacement parts. We will be able to retrieve these from the digital parts warehouse in future, in order to significantly reduce delivery times and storage costs.

Christian Lehner

Head of Customer Service, Carthago Reisemobilbau GmbH

Through our activities in the field of additive manufacturing in recent years, the immense potential of the technology along the entire value chain has become evident step by step. The opportunities for our own business as well as for the customers range from savings potential to new business models. The future belongs to 3D printing technology. We're certain of that!

Ralf Anderhofstadt

Head of the Center of Competence for Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing), Printing Shop & Media at Daimler Buses

For us, 3D printing is the perfect complement to the existing business model.
Thanks to this technology there arise great possibilities both in terms of the availability of components for the customer and in regard to production, but also with a view to leaner processes and avoidance of costs.

Bernd Mack

Head of Customer Services & Parts (CSP) at Daimler Buses

I am really enthusiastic about this technology. It is customer-friendly because the desired products, e.g. spare parts, are available much more rapidly – and the customer gets exactly what they need. It is sustainable because it is possible to produce on-demand: less packaging material, smaller warehouse areas, fewer production rejects! And this makes it economical, both for our customers and for us too. In short: we've accumulated a lot of positive experiences with 3D printing and have built up a lot of knowledge, so now we're keen to share that.

Till Oberwörder

Head of the Daimler Buses Division

It was indeed fascinating to participate in a workshop on additive manufacturing together with the colleagues from the Daimler Buses Center of Competence. With regards to the technology, the key benefits I noted are the highly flexible production quantities, the high speed and great quality of production, and the possibility to reuse any powder left over from the previous production cycle leading to virtually no waste. I believe there is immense untapped potential for companies to reduce storage expenses, shipping costs, and time to market through the use of additive manufacturing on carefully selected parts, and I am very happy to be part of the team that explores these potentials for DTAG in the Middle East and North Africa region.

Alexandru Matei

Head of Business Development Customer Services Daimler Trucks - Daimler Commercial Vehicles MENA FZE

We have been a long-standing partner and supplier of Daimler Buses in the field of plastics deep-drawing. We are very pleased that we can drive forward industrial 3D printing with Additive Manufacturing Solutions and continue to support Daimler Buses as a strategic partner. Firstly, industrial 3D printing optimally complements our existing portfolio and secondly, it positions us ideally for the future with this exciting technology in all its facets.
