A new video released today features the implementation of the first ICP production line at BMW Group&#8217;s (OTCPK:BMWYY) plant in Landshut, Germany. As BMW Group\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwgroup-werke.com\/landshut\/en\/our-plant.html\" rel=\"noopener\">largest component plant<\/a>, Landshut has approximately 3,500 employees and supplies all of its vehicle and engine plants worldwide, including for nearly all BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce vehicles, and for its motorcycle brand, BMW Motorrad.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;583200&#8243;]The customized, low-emissions solution integrates voxeljet\u2019s high-speed VX1300-X (VJET-X) 3D printers into a fully automated pre- and post-processing workflow, including industrial microwaves for curing the 3D printed cores. Printing rates were increased by factor ten with the latest generation of VJET-X 3D printers, and the toolless design of the sand cores allowed for variant changes at unprecedented speed without time-consuming tool changes and production downtime. The unused material is 100% recycled and reused in the production process.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;877299&#8243;]&#8221;The fully-automated 3D production line at BMW\u2019s Landshut plant is a key milestone not only for voxeljet, but for the entire 3D printing and automotive industry,&#8221; said Dr. Ingo Ederer, founder and CEO of voxeljet. \u201cWe believe this customized, near-zero emissions solution achieved in partnership between voxeljet, Loramendi and BMW will become an industry standard.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;818769&#8243;]Together, voxeljet and Loramendi are revolutionizing the industrialization of core printing. The production of inorganic 3D printed cores has enabled BMW Group to advance the design of its engine components. For example, the cylinder head for BMW\u2019s B48 engine has been significantly improved by using 3D printing to produce water jacket \u2013 outlet combi cores. Additionally, 3D printing allows BMW to produce sand cores in one piece, reducing the complex design of engine components while optimizing the engine\u2019s efficiency and fuel consumption. The inorganic 3D production line also significantly reduces the foundry\u2019s emissions, as only water steam is produced during the casting process.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;820537&#8243;]voxeljet\u2019s powerful next-generation binder jetting 3D printing technology offers the highest additive productivity and throughput to meet the demands of BMW\u2019s large-scale production needs. voxeljet\u2019s layer-by-layer technology works by using sand and an inorganic binder. A print head selectively bonds layers of sand to create the cores, which are then unpacked, microwave cured, cleaned and inspected before being fed into BMW&#8217;s established casting process. voxeljet has been granted 1 patent and has 10 patent families with 28 patent applications across the United States, Europe, and other geographies that protect this proprietary approach.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;262903&#8243;]<strong>Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This press release contains forward-looking statements concerning our business, operations and financial performance.
