What Nedcam does

Nedcam Solutions B.V. is a privately held Dutch industrial engineering firm, formed in 2016 from the merger of Duiven-based Nedcam and Heerenveen-based Solicam, headquartered at Minerva 42, Heerenveen. The company designs and manufactures production moulds, plugs, models, prototypes, and finished composite components for the composites industry, serving enterprise customers in yacht building, wind energy, transportation and automotive, and architecture and construction across Europe. It is positioned in source materials as the European leader in plugs and moulds for yacht building and the largest independent supplier of plugs and moulds in the Netherlands. Operating geographies include a wholly owned German subsidiary, Nedcam GmbH (Rhede, Amtsgericht Coesfeld HRB 21129), which acquired Modellbau Nachtigall GmbH in 2023, and an adjacent subsidiary, Nedcam Building Solutions, focused on sustainable facades.

The company's core technical platform combines high-precision 5-axis CNC machining up to 26 meters in length with large-scale additive manufacturing, anchored by a Fanum Lambda XXL 3D printer with 12-meter reach and 50+ kg per hour throughput, plus an AM Flexbot for thermoplastic printing. Production capabilities span aluminum, steel, and difficult-to-machine metals and composites, supported by in-house CAD engineering, 2D-to-3D conversion, 3D laser scanning, BIM modeling, and FEM structural analysis. A strategic R&D direction is the transition from thermoset (duroplast) materials to fully recyclable thermoplastics and the commercialization of the proprietary A1 (Acrylic One) water-based composite facade system — a calcium-sulfate-and-acrylate material with B-s1,d0 to A2-s1,d0 fire classification, 80% lower weight than concrete, and low LCA scores. Co-development partners include Royal DSM (3D printing for composites, 2021), Fanum (XXL 3D printer supply), CEAD (AM Flexbot), Anker Stuy (styrene-free gelcoat), and TRIBOO (Never Ending Furniture circular 3D-printed line).

Nedcam generates revenue through one-off project contracts and professional services: custom mould and plug manufacturing, CNC milling services, large-format 3D printing, A1 facade panel production, and CAD engineering services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with project complexity, material, size, and scope driving cost. The go-to-motion is direct enterprise field sales with no intermediaries or resellers, supported by participation in trade shows (METSTRADE, JEC World, Bau München), a multilingual website (Dutch, English, German), and active organic social channels. In September 2023 the company entered a strategic partnership with Nobel Capital Partners to support continued growth.
