For Schaeffler, additive manufacturing offers great potential with regard to the manufacturing of the future. Within the company, the "Advanced Manufacturing" division is driving the use of this manufacturing technology for tomorrow's products and tools by already testing it in projects in product pre-development, among other things. In addition to commercially available metallic and polymer materials, the company relies heavily on materials that are only available on the market to a limited extent. Schaeffler operates additive manufacturing facilities for industrial and automotive applications as well as tools in its global production network.
