voxeljet AG, which is based in Friedberg (Bayern) near Augsburg (Germany), is a manufacturer of industrial 3D printing systems.

Besides the development and distribution of printing systems, voxeljet AG also operates service centers for the on-demand manufacture of molds and models for metal casting in Germany, the USA and China.

The first 3D printing trials were conducted at the Precision Engineering department of the Technical University Munich as part of the "Generation of 3D structures" project.

[3] Generis GmbH, the predecessor of today's voxeljet AG, was founded on 5 May 1999 by Dr. Ingo Ederer, Rainer Höchsmann and Prof. Dr. Joachim Heinzl at Munich's Technical University.

In the same year, Bayern Kapital GmbH,[6] the Startkapital Fonds Augsburg and Franz Industriebeteiligungen AG[7] joined as new shareholders.

[12] At the international trade fair for foundry technologies ‘’GIFA’’, voxeljet introduced the world's first continuous 3D printer, the VXC800.

In the same year, voxeljet celebrated the global premiere of its 3D printer VX1000 at EuroMold, the trade fair for tooling and mold-making, design and product development in Frankfurt am Main.

[14] By combining high performance and a large build space, this printing system was able to meet the growing requirements of industry.

In the process, the company issued another three million American Depositary Shares at the New York Stock Exchange at a unit price of US$15.

[3][23] To add to its global network of sales partners voxeljet AG began to set up its own international locations in the year 2014.

The company, which specializes in the film and entertainment industry, had already gained experience with voxeljet printing systems when it purchased the VX1000 in the year 2012.

HSS is a powder-based 3D printing process that produces functional plastic parts from materials such as polyamide 12 (PA12) or thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).

The technology employs an ink jetting process that starts by spreading a thin layer of polymer powder onto a build platform.

An infrared lamp then passes over the layer, fusing the printed areas while the unprinted powder remains loose and acts as a support material during the build.

[30] In 2021, voxeljet, together with GE Renewable Energy and the Fraunhofer IGZV Institute, announced a joint project that aligns with the U.S. strategy for clean power generation.

The Polypor B binder, available as a voxeljet service and for system customers in Europe, is ideal for parts that are true to detail and which require a high degree of edge sharpness, resolution and green compact strength.

In High Speed Sintering, functional parts can be manufactured in PA12, PP, TPU, PEBA and EVA based polymers.
