Three building blocks for your additive transformation

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:

Benefits of additive manufacturing

With additive manufacturing, you can reduce your costs, be more flexible and react faster to changes because:

  • No expensive tools are required. This eliminates high investment and maintenance costs for you.
  • On-release order production reduces storage costs and thus binds less capital.
  • Local production significantly minimises transport costs.
  • Dependencies and risks within the supply chain are significantly reduced.
  • Materials are used in a targeted manner, which conserves resources and improves the sustainability of your enterprise.
  • Freedom in design enables innovative and complex components that cannot be implemented with conventional processes.

Workshops

3D printing - is this something for my enterprise? Our workshops show you which materials are suitable for additive manufacturing, which manufacturing processes are available and how you can integrate additive manufacturing into your business processes.

Component production

Are you missing a prototype for a presentation or is a vehicle down due to a missing replacement part? We manufacture the components you need using modern 3D technology in the desired quality - quickly and flexibly.

Digital Warehouse (DWH)

Can the processes in my company really be digitised? Digitally stocking replacement parts, preparing component data for additive manufacturing and processing requirements directly online in the event of an order - we offer you comprehensive services from a single source for additive manufacturing.

Who we are – the team behind AMS

A dynamic market environment demands flexibility. That is why we have made it our mission to advance your enterprise with long-term successful and sustainable solutions for additive manufacturing. You can rely on our extensive experience with materials, manufacturing processes and quality assurance to put your enterprise on the fast track of additive transformation.

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 CSP Sourcing & Center of Competence 3D-Printing 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.
