03 Engineering & Manufacturing
Your metal part, end to end.
Print, machine and measure at CITEC3D, driven by our process software.
Submit your part
We use it before you do.
Engineering & Manufacturing is our proving ground. Every new material parameter and every ForgeOS release runs in our own production at CITEC3D first, on real parts. You get what has already been proven, not a promise.
Developed
New parameters from 01 Materials, new tools from 02 Software.
Proven in our production
Built, measured and tested on real parts at CITEC3D.
Shipped to you
Released to partners and customers only after that.
