Laempe: new customer for 3D printer

Laempe Mössner Sinto has gained another customer for its L3D-200 industrial 3D printer. Herborner Pumpentechnik now wants to use the system to produce casting molds in-house.

The decision was made after intensive market analysis and visits to existing Laempe users such as BMW and Inacore, according to a press release. "We were particularly impressed by the flexibility of the modular design – we were able to configure exactly what we currently need without limiting ourselves in terms of further development", says Torsten Kumpf, foundry manager at Herborner Pumpentechnik. The open system architecture also allows free choice of binder and molding material—a unique selling point compared to the competition. Conceivable functions such as bidirectional operation or full automation of the entire process are already planned.

The new 3d printer is used for prototypes and small series, which are the norm in Herborner's production environment: The medium-sized family business is one of the leading suppliers of centrifugal pumps for water treatment, swimming pool technology, industry, and shipping.

The delivery date for the system is scheduled for 2026. Laempe is already working on the design for a possible expansion, as the customer is also planning construction measures for an expansion project. "We expect our L3D-200 to make a significant contribution to the future-proof further development of our customer's foundry", says Andreas Mössner, Managing Director at Laempe Mössner Sinto.
