Wie schnell ist ein Bauteil aus Schleswig in Kiel?

Die Strecke beträgt rund 60 km. Bei Standardversand ist ein fertig gedrucktes Muster meist am nächsten Werktag in Kiel, eine Abholung vor Ort kann nach Absprache vereinbart werden.

Drucken Sie auch für Forschungsprojekte an der Universität?

Ja, für Institute und Forschungsgruppen liefern wir häufig Einzelstücke und kleine Serien für Versuchsaufbauten, oft mit engem Zeitfenster vor einem Messtermin oder einer Testreihe.

Welche Werkstoffe eignen sich für maritime Elektronikgehäuse?

PC bietet gute Schlagzähigkeit und Formbeständigkeit bei Wärmeentwicklung in Gehäusen, ASA eignet sich für Außenbereiche mit Feuchtigkeit und Salzluft. Für hohe mechanische Belastung ist PA12-CF eine Option.

Ist eine Abholung in Kiel möglich?

Die Fertigung befindet sich in Schleswig, nicht in Kiel. Eine Abholung findet dort statt und kann nach Absprache terminiert werden, alternativ liefern wir per Versanddienstleister.

3D printing for Kiel, made 60 km away

For shipbuilding, marine electronics and research institutes in Kiel, we manufacture in Schleswig, about 60 km away. Overnight shipping or pickup by agreement gets the part where it is needed.

Overnight shipping to Kiel or pickup in Schleswig by agreement

What Kiel companies and institutes print for

Kiel is shaped by shipbuilding, marine technology and an active research scene. That shows in the requests we get from the city.

Shipbuilding and shipyard suppliers

Cable routing, brackets and assembly aids for ship interior fitting, often in small quantities with a tight window before an inspection.

Marine electronics and sensors

Housings and mounts for measurement devices and sensors on board, in PC or ASA depending on moisture and temperature requirements.

University and research institutes

Test rigs, mounts for measurement equipment and prototypes for student projects, mostly one-offs with a short lead time before an exam or measurement date.

Naval technology suppliers

Small series of parts for test benches and test installations, where geometry often still changes after initial testing.

Suitable materials

For marine electronics and test rigs, shape stability under heat and moisture resistance usually matter more than maximum strength, PC and ASA cover most cases.

3D printing for Kiel: short distances to shipyards and research

As a shipbuilding and naval technology hub, Kiel is home to companies that often need small quantities with tight scheduling. A shipyard that needs a cable gland for the final inspection phase cannot wait weeks for a spare part. The roughly 60 km to Schleswig can typically be bridged within one working day.

Besides industry, the university and its research institutes drive much of the demand from Kiel. This is less about series production and more about one-off parts for test setups, often tied to a fixed date for a measurement series or presentation. Such orders benefit especially from short lead times, since a delay pushes back the entire test schedule.

For marine electronics, such as enclosures for onboard measurement equipment, material choice matters as much as geometry. Moisture, condensation inside an enclosure and occasional saltwater contact rule out some standard materials. PC and ASA reliably cover most of these applications without needing a specialty material.

FAQ from Kiel

How fast does a part from Schleswig reach Kiel?: The distance is about 60 km. With standard shipping, a finished sample usually reaches Kiel the next working day, pickup on site can be arranged by agreement.
Do you print for university research projects?: Yes, for institutes and research groups we often supply one-offs and small series for test setups, frequently on a tight schedule before a measurement date or test series.
Which materials suit marine electronics housings?: PC offers good impact resistance and shape stability under heat buildup in enclosures, ASA suits outdoor areas with moisture and salt air. For high mechanical load, PA12-CF is an option.
Is pickup possible in Kiel?: Production is located in Schleswig, not in Kiel. Pickup takes place there and can be scheduled by agreement, alternatively we deliver via a shipping carrier.
