Switzerland is globally recognized for its engineering excellence, high-value manufacturing, and precision-driven industries. From medical devices and aerospace tooling to energy infrastructure and heavy equipment, Swiss manufacturers demand quality, reliability, and efficiency. Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) answers this call, offering a scalable, certifiable, and cost-effective way to produce large and complex metal components.
At MX3D, we bring WAAM to Switzerland through integrated robotic systems and on-demand certified metal 3D printing services . Our technology helps Swiss companies rethink production, streamlining workflows, cutting lead times, and ensuring full digital control across every stage of manufacturing.
Advanced Additive Manufacturing Switzerland: Beyond Conventional Limits
WAAM is a form of Directed Energy Deposition (DED) that uses robotic welding and metal wire feedstock to create parts layer by layer. Unlike conventional processes that rely on casting or subtractive machining, WAAM builds near-net-shape parts directly from CAD, reducing both material waste and tooling costs.
For Switzerland’s advanced sectors, like precision machinery, rail technology, and industrial automation, this means faster development cycles and increased flexibility without compromising on mechanical performance. With WAAM, manufacturers can efficiently produce custom components, structural parts, and prototypes at full industrial scale.
Robotic Metal 3D Printing Systems for Swiss Manufacturing
MX3D offers complete WAAM systems tailored for Swiss manufacturers. Each system includes a multi-axis robot, high-performance welding source, and MetalXL, our proprietary software platform. MetalXL enables real-time control of heat input, deposition parameters, and path strategy, ensuring repeatable and certifiable results.
Whether implemented in Zurich, Basel, or the industrial regions of Aargau and Vaud, WAAM systems can be deployed in both production facilities and R&D centers. They support a shift toward in-house, agile production, enabling Swiss firms to reduce dependency on external suppliers and boost speed-to-market.
Certified On-Demand Metal Printing Services for Switzerland
Not every project or business unit requires a dedicated WAAM setup. For this reason, MX3D provides Swiss companies access to our certified on-demand metal printing facility in Amsterdam. We produce large-scale, high-strength components in stainless steel, Inconel, and duplex alloys, delivered with full compliance to ISO, ASME, and API standards.
Swiss clients working in transportation, energy , or public infrastructure rely on our service to replace legacy parts, fulfill short production runs, or overcome urgent component shortages. With short lead times and rigorous quality control, our WAAM service meets the expectations of Swiss precision engineering.
Industrial 3D Printing Switzerland: Targeting Key Sectors
Switzerland’s economy is driven by innovation-focused sectors that demand technical accuracy and material performance. WAAM supports these sectors by enabling digital fabrication of custom, one-off, or large components:
- Energy and Infrastructure: WAAM produces pressure-retaining and corrosion-resistant parts for hydroelectric, grid, and industrial installations.
- Transportation and Rail: Custom brackets, housings, and structural elements can be printed without waiting for long tooling cycles.
- Machinery and Tooling: High-strength jigs, molds, and fixtures can be manufactured in days, not weeks.
This flexibility is particularly valuable for Switzerland’s decentralized, high-mix production model, where small batch sizes and customization are the norm.
Sustainable Manufacturing Switzerland: Local and Low-Waste
Environmental responsibility is central to Switzerland’s national strategy, and WAAM aligns perfectly with those goals. It uses wire feedstock, more efficient and safer to handle than powders, and eliminates excess waste by building only what is needed. The process also enables local, just-in-time production, significantly reducing logistics emissions.
Swiss companies seeking to improve their environmental performance will find WAAM a powerful tool to support both sustainability and innovation objectives.
WAAM for Public Sector and Infrastructure Projects in Switzerland
Municipalities, federal agencies, and infrastructure authorities in Switzerland can also benefit from WAAM’s local production capabilities. From repairing public rail systems to fabricating custom metal parts for bridges, tunnels, or utilities, WAAM enables fast response and high-quality results.
By reducing reliance on international suppliers and speeding up procurement timelines, Swiss public entities can ensure greater resilience and regional self-sufficiency, especially in emergency or remote applications.
