Henngineered is one of the industry leaders in the field of additive manufacturing. The competence center for additive manufacturing in Mönchweiler has been optimized so that the 3D-printed plastic and metal parts are ready for delivery in three to five days, and Henngineered has a special offering that sets it apart from the competition: subsequent heat treatment, blasting and CNC machining in-house - even in series. Various printing processes for plastics are also offered. For higher requirements such as high-gloss surfaces, fine structures, crystal-clear parts, temperature resistance or glass fiber reinforcement, Henngineered offers vacuum casting as a solution: Thanks to low tooling costs and short lead times, initial parts are available in under ten working days, and even near-series parts can be produced in polyamide casting.

Machining and toolmaking are also among the areas of expertise in Mönchweiler. Even difficult-to-machine or hardened metal is machined here. 3D-printed metal parts can be reworked, and assembly production and surface coating are also offered.

From the idea to mass production

In addition to the expanded material and technology portfolio, Henngineered offers its customers comprehensive services along the entire process chain. It all starts with expert advice: Which material and which production technology are suitable for implementing the customer's requirements? What is the right component design for prototypes, pilot series and series production? How can quality be ensured throughout the process and how can sub-processes be optimized with foresight? By involving the customer in the engineering process, concrete planning is created from an idea within a very short time. In addition, all manufacturing processes can be simulated in advance for precise design.

For prototype production (possible from one piece), Henngineered can draw on a wide range of qualities, materials and technologies. Thanks to predictive optimization, prototype assemblies can be produced that hardly differ from series production. This increases productivity and reduces development and production costs. Series production is also part of Henngineered's range of services. The service providers, now operating under the same name, have many years of experience in mass production. Over 50 million assembly units - or a total of 200 million parts - of the highest precision and quality are produced annually and deep-drawn parts, plastic parts and other components are assembled fully automatically.

Henngineered also supports its customers in the after-sales area, for example by producing small batches retrospectively, keeping spare parts in stock or procuring them, storing tools and developing new products together with them. Finally, Henngineered also offers a wide range of quality assurance measures, from audits to claim management.

Thanks to the combination of valuable skills and services, Henngineered can offer its customers a complete solution and support projects from the initial idea through design to large-scale production. The reduction of interfaces and bureaucracy results in shorter decision-making processes. The available resources and technologies are pooled, which also saves time and money. In addition, this holistic approach increases the quality of products across the entire value chain.
