By investing in the Elegoo OrangeStorm Giga, IBK Engineering is specifically expanding its expertise in the field of additive manufacturing. From now on, components and assemblies up to 1000 mm can be realized. This creates new opportunities for the development, validation and implementation of large-format components – quickly, flexibly and practically.
For us, this investment is more than just an expansion of our machinery. It is a logical step towards offering our customers an even more comprehensive development and consulting approach: from the digital twin to additive manufacturing and series transfer – all from a single source.
Large-format 3D printing as the next development step
The requirements in product development are constantly increasing. Development cycles are becoming shorter, the number of variants is increasing and components need to be evaluated earlier and earlier in real-life use. This is precisely where additive manufacturing offers decisive advantages.
With the Elegoo OrangeStorm Giga, IBK Engineering is now opening up the field of large-format 3D printing. This means that even larger components, housings, functional samples, devices or complete assemblies can be produced economically and in a short time.
This is a considerable added value, especially in the early development phases: design ideas can be quickly transferred into physical components, tested and further developed. This reduces coordination loops, shortens development times and improves the quality of decisions in the course of the project.
Components and assemblies up to 1000 mm
With the new technology, we at IBK Engineering will be able to produce components and assemblies up to 1000 mm in size in future. This opens up new scope for a wide range of applications, such as
- Prototypes and functional models
- Housing and structural components
- Devices and assembly aids
- Testing and handling components
- Development patterns close to series production
- Complex assemblies
The possibility of early physical validation is a key advantage, especially for larger components. Dimensions, installation space, assembly capability, function and handling can be tested realistically – much faster than with purely digital models alone.
From digital twin to printed component
What sets IBK Engineering apart is not just the production itself, but the holistic view of the development process. Our customers benefit from an integrated service approach that goes far beyond pure 3D printing.
We support projects along the entire value chain
- Establishment and further development of the digital twin
- Design and CAD data preparation
- Component-specific optimization for additive manufacturing
- Prototyping and function validation
- Technical evaluation of components and assemblies
- Preparation for transfer to pre-series and series production
The result is not just a printed sample of an idea, but a robust technical solution that makes sense in terms of function, economy and development.
Holistic consulting approach instead of individual services
Additive manufacturing unfolds its greatest benefits when it is not viewed in isolation. This is why IBK Engineering pursues an all-round consulting approach that combines development, engineering and production.
We not only provide our customers with access to modern production technology, but above all with technical advice and implementation expertise. Together, we evaluate which components are suitable for additive processes, where there is potential in development and how components can be developed efficiently for later applications or series production.
Additive manufacturing as a bridge to series production
Today, 3D printing is far more than just a tool for simple sample parts. Used correctly, additive manufacturing is becoming a strategic element of modern product development. It closes the gap between digital expertise, physical validation and near-series preparation.
With the expansion of large-format 3D printing, IBK Engineering is strengthening precisely this connection. Our aim is not only to support customers in individual project phases, but also to provide efficient support throughout the entire process, from the digital idea to the actual implementation.
Technology and engineering from a single source
By investing in the Elegoo OrangeStorm, IBK Engineering is expanding its service portfolio in a targeted manner and underlining its claim to be a modern development partner for sophisticated technical solutions.
Digital twin, engineering, additive manufacturing and series transfer interlock with each other. This is precisely what creates added value for our customers: fewer interfaces, shorter paths, faster results and a partner who understands both technology and application.
Conclusion
IBK Engineering’s entry into large-format 3D printing is an important step towards providing customers with even more comprehensive support in additive manufacturing. With the ability to produce components and assemblies up to 1000 mm, we are not only expanding our technological capacities, but also the benefits for our customers.
From the digital twin and design to the 3D-printed component and the possible series transfer, IBK Engineering offers a holistic approach to modern product development and additive manufacturing – all from a single source.
