Our Technology Philosophy
Maximum independence for your production
Why we rely on open systems
In industrial manufacturing, downtime is the biggest cost factor. Many conventional 3D printing systems are "black boxes": repairs can only be performed by the manufacturer, spare parts are overpriced, and material selection is artificially restricted.
MEER 3D Technologies breaks with this model.We consistently rely on open-source-based hardware and industrial standards.
Your advantages through our philosophy
Repairability instead of new purchase:Since we know every component – from the stepper motor to the linear rail – inside and out, we can diagnose and fix errors immediately.
Independent material choice:You are not tied to expensive manufacturer filaments. Use the material that is technically best suited for your project.
Future-proof:Open systems evolve faster. Upgrades can often be retrofitted modularly without having to replace the entire machine.
Sustainability:We specifically replace components instead of disposing of entire assemblies. This conserves resources and your budget.
DM Technology (Fused Deposition Modeling)
The standard for robust functional components and architectural models.
Our focus at FDM is on high-speed systems (such as RatRig) that combine the highest precision with industrial speed. By using standard components, we guarantee the availability of spare parts within 24–48 hours.
Resin technology (SLA/LCD) –In planning
For fine surfaces and intricate details.
In the field of resin printing, we are currently evaluating systems that share our philosophy of ease of maintenance and material freedom. We will offer solutions that meet the high demands for detail fidelity without forcing the user into closed ecosystems.
Service that goes beyond sales
An open system is only as good as the support behind it. MEER 3D Technologies is your local partner in Switzerland, who not only supplies these systems but masters them.
Customizing
We adapt the systems to your specific requirements.
Spare parts guarantee
We stock all critical wear parts from our warehouse in Herisau.
Know-how transfer
In our training sessions, you will learn not only how to operate the printer but also understand the technology behind it.
Modularity & upgrades
Instead of replacing the entire machine, individual components (such as motherboards or extruders) can be upgraded to the latest technology in our open systems. This significantly extends the lifecycle of your investment.
True reparability
By using industrial standard components, we are not dependent on proprietary spare parts. This means: Less electronic waste and guaranteed serviceability for many years – directly on-site in Herisau.
Resource efficiency
We assist you in selecting ecologically advantageous materials such as PLA (based on corn starch) and optimize your printing processes to minimize material waste (support structures).
Would you like to learn more about the benefits of open systems?
Avoid expensive manufacturer dependencies and hidden follow-up costs. We provide independent advice and show you how open systems can amortize faster through lower material costs and easy reparability. Benefit from maximum transparency.
