While voxeljet's Service Center in Augsburg is happy about its full
order books, business has also picked up significantly in the equipment
building segment. "In the system business, we are noting the positive
effect of our numerous international sales cooperation arrangements.
Demand for all-in-one 3D print systems from foreign markets has
increased significantly", says Rudolf Franz, CFO of voxeljet AG.
Customers from the automotive industry make up a big part of this
demand. Particularly the R&D area, which requires small batches of
prototypes and pre-series parts, places great value on the advantages
offered by rapid and tool-less mould production directly from CAD data.
"We are particularly pleased with the fact that more and more large
automotive manufacturers outside of the German-speaking economic area
are also relying on voxeljet. We were able to obtain Hyundai in Korea
as a new customers for the VX500. Ford UK purchased a new VX800
system as part of a replacement process. The quality of our systems is
predestined for reliable permanent operations - a feature that also
appears to be important in international markets", says Rudolf Franz.
