Local production through 3D printing with active monitoring
-
Energy efficient printers (Prusa XL, WASP 40100)
-
We reduce unnecessary cycles through digital simulations
-
We plan to integrate solar energy by 2026
-
We donate or recycle used equipment

-
Sorting into: plastic (ASA), bioplastic (PLA), ceramics, paper
-
Partnership with authorized recycling companies
-
Monthly records regarding waste volume
-
We encourage the return of damaged products
-
Non-conforming products are reconditioned or turned into samples
4.4. Transport and Logistics
