4 About Materialise Started in 1990 Technology company Leaders in the field of 3D printing HQ in Belgium, offices all over the world Worldwide more then 850 employees 4

5 3 Core Competences 1 Factory for 3D Printing Layer by layer production of parts (3D Printing) No need for tools, only 3D design required Very few limitations in part complexity Broad range of technologies Machine park of 80+ machines 5

6 3 Core Competences 2 Digital CAD Represent 3D volume by triangles Design automation

7 3 Core Competences 3 Medical Image Based Engineering and Manufacturing From CT/MR images to anatomical engineering...to physical models

8 The Materialise Group Additive Manufacturing Solutions Software for Additive Manufacturing.MGX RapidFit+ Additive Manufacturing i.materialise Digital CAD Engineering Biomedical Engineering Cranio-Maxillo Facial Orthopaedics 8

9 The World s largest factory for 3D Printing Stereolithography 32 machines 12 Mammoth machines 8 materials 43,000 parts per year Fused Deposition Modeling 30 machines 10 materials 17,000 parts per year Laser Sintering 15 machines 3 materials 190,000 parts per year Vacuum Casting 28 materials 2,300 moulds per year 44,000 parts per year Fully equipped workshop for part finishing

10 Materials for 3D printing Stereolithography: Epoxy based materials with limited thermal en mechanical properties 10

11 Materials for 3D printing Laser sintering PA12 based materials: 14-20% Lower density 4-5 times lower sensitivity for water Excellent chemical resistance Medium T stability (operating temperatures C) 11

12 Materials for 3D printing Nylon 12/11 are high performance polymers: high durability in harsh conditions These properties will NOT be different for AM sintered parts 12

13 Materials for 3D printing FDM Polymer extrusion based selective deposition Wide range products available: from engineering to high performance polymers: limited modulus- high thermal range Certified Performance: UL New products for niche applications 13

14 Real benefits of 3D Printing 1 Reduce carbon footprint Shorten time to market Avoid investment in manufacturing tools Make small series possible 5 Surpass today s design limitations Solve complex design problems

15 Real benefits of 3D Printing 5 When product complexity is high Surpass today s design limitations When you have limited space When you need to integrate functionality When you need to transport air, water, heat 15

16 The Materialise approach Sparring partner for Manufacturing Design and Engineering Certified factory for 3D Printing
