About layerworks

We are a 12-person engineering and manufacturing team from Northern Germany, founded in 2022.

As a contract manufacturer and development partner, we produce functional components and series parts using 3D printing.

For us, additive manufacturing primarily means rethinking. We consider components based on their function and application – not on existing tools or manufacturing routines. We make decisions based on functionality, material logic, and economic viability.

We work in an interdisciplinary, pragmatic, and transparent manner. Not merely as a supplier, but as a partner who understands requirements, thinks proactively, and takes responsibility. Our aim is to develop and manufacture components so that they function reliably wherever they are needed – transparently, robustly, and permanently.

Industries

We manufacture functional components for vehicle construction, agricultural machinery, and agricultural technology, from design studies to series production: interior and exterior panels, brackets, and flow-optimized air ducts. Using large-format 3D printing (up to 4×3×2 m), we produce large panels and ducts in one piece; complex geometries can be consolidated and weight-optimized. Materials include PA12/PA11/TPU (SLS) and PP-GF/PA-CF (FGF) for robust, temperature- and media-resistant components. The result: durable panels, ready-to-install brackets, and efficient air ducts with short lead times – ideal if you want to have parts manufactured and reduce time-to-market.

In 3D printing for mechanical engineering, we deliver precise fixtures, covers, and housings as small batches or large production runs – perfectly fitted for assembly, protection, and integration of components. Depending on the application, we combine FDM, FGF, and SLS, use CF/GF-reinforced polymers or ESD-compatible compounds, and consistently work from a design-to-cost perspective. This results in functionally stable components with defined dimensional accuracy, suitable surface quality, and predictable delivery times. For retrofits, new installations, or cycle time optimization, series production using 3D printing is an economical alternative to the conventional machining of plastic housings.

For mold making, we accelerate the production of prototype and pre-series tools: deep-drawing molds, laminating molds (GFRP/CFRP), and mold inserts are produced additively with short lead times. In SLM, we integrate conformal cooling channels (e.g., AlSi10Mg, 316L, 17-4PH) for uniform temperature control; in polymer tooling, we use PETG-GF, PA-CF, or PP-GF for dimensionally stable molded parts and gauges. This reduces tooling costs, speeds up iterations, and allows for realistic testing of demolding and surface finishes. Ideal if you need fast tooling and want to ensure a smooth transition to subsequent series production.

We develop templates, assembly and testing fixtures for process reliability, ergonomics, and quality assurance – from individual pieces to customized series production. Typical features include poka-yoke design, defined stop/reference surfaces, integrated QR codes/serialization, optional ESD protection, and topology optimization for low weight and high rigidity. Upon request, we also produce large-scale solutions using large-format 3D printing and integrate inserts, sensors, or gripping points. This allows you to reduce setup times, prevent errors, and increase cycle times – with precisely fitting fixtures tailored to your specific machine design.
