DeutschJTF Business Support 2026 – Expansion of Additive Manufacturing with an SLS 3D Printer
JTF Business Support – Expansion of Additive Manufacturing with an SLS 3D Printer
Schönborner Armaturen GmbH purchased an SLS 3D printer, including the associated peripherals, for its Hennersdorf location and put it into operation in January 2026.
The goal of the investment is to expand capacity in the field of additive manufacturing. The system enables the flexible production of prototypes, functional components, and small production runs, as well as rapid adjustments in response to design changes.
Among other things, the printer is used for gear train mechanisms, including gearboxes, adapters, and operating components such as gripper jaws for CNC robots. This expands the company’s capabilities in in-house product development and manufacturing.
This project is co-financed by the European Union under the Just Transition Fund (JTF).
JTF Business Support 2025 – Expansion of Production Capacity
Schönborner Armaturen GmbH has expanded its in-house processing capacity for sorting plastic scraps by type at its Hennersdorf facility. To this end, the company purchased a plastic shredder, a belt conveyor, and the necessary extraction and conveying equipment.
The goal of the project is to recycle plastic scraps from extrusion and injection molding production and feed them back into the manufacturing process. This will reduce the amount of waste sent to external disposal facilities and the use of virgin material.
This project is funded by the European Union through the Just Transition Fund (JTF) and by the State of Brandenburg.
