Techno-grafica Gmbh

What Techno-grafica Gmbh does

Techno-Grafica GmbH is a privately held German limited liability company headquartered in Kämpfelbach, founded in 1994, operating with 11-50 employees under managing director Christian Hanosek. The company runs two divisions: a Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing service bureau using PA12, glass-reinforced PA12, and TPU materials, and a graphic systems business that supplies special machinery to the printing industry. Its positioning emphasizes over 30 years of industry experience and ISO 9001 quality management certification.

The company targets B2B industrial customers described as "international top companies" across machinery engineering, automotive, medical technology, and aerospace. Service engagement is project-based: pricing is quote-driven with no publicly listed rates, and customer acquisition is sales-led through the corporate website and structured quote-request forms, supplemented by paid search marketing. The customer mix spans regulated and non-regulated industrial end markets, leveraging the ISO 9001 credential as a procurement-relevant signal for medical and aerospace buyers.

The business model is a hybrid industrial services and special-machinery operation. Revenue is generated through custom SLS print orders priced per project on the 3D printing side, and through equipment sales or related services on the graphic systems side. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, partnerships, or named enterprise logos, and operates without a public mobile app, API, or third-party integrations, making its commercial surface area concentrated in its owned web properties and direct sales interaction.

Core offering

Techno-Grafica provides industrial Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing services for high-precision plastic prototypes and small-to-medium series production using PA12, glass-reinforced PA12, and TPU materials. The service spans the full value chain from CAD design and topology optimization through SLS production to post-processing (glass bead blasting, vibratory grinding, dyeing, coating) and final assembly. The company additionally develops and manufactures special machines for the offset printing industry under its Graphic Systems division.

Product overview

Techno-Grafica GmbH operates two distinct divisions: an Industrial SLS 3D Printing division offering a comprehensive service portfolio centered on Selective Laser Sintering technology, and a Graphic Systems division developing and manufacturing special machines for the printing industry. The 3D printing division provides SLS printing services with materials (PA12, glass-reinforced PA12, TPU), complemented by add-on services including CAD design, topology optimization, post-processing (glass bead blasting, vibratory finishing, coloring, coating), quality assurance, reverse engineering, and machining/assembly. The graphic systems division offers CTP systems, plate processing lines, and corner/rotary tables. The company is ISO 9001 certified and has over 30 years of experience serving international clients.
