Anisoprint – Company description

Anisoprint is a deep tech startup and the only 3D printing OEM based in Luxembourg today. We’ve developed 3D printers, materials (carbon, basalt) and software for manufacturing anisoprinted composite parts: stronger, lighter and cheaper than metal or non-optimized composites.

Our patented Continuous Fiber Coextrusion (CFC) technology is used in aerospace, engineering, mobility, and many other areas to produce functional parts while cutting costs and increasing productivity. Anisoprinted parts are incredibly strong can actually replace metal parts in some applications.

Anisoprinting is already applied at BMW, Schunk Carbon Technology, Airbus, Brightlands Materials Center, Technical University of Munich, Bauhaus, Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology, etc.
