This apparent contradiction speaks volumes about the trends and developments we recognize in the market, and it makes us optimistic about the future. 3D printing is a real production medium and is developing into a new standard in all areas of application.

However, the reasons behind this trend are largely positive, particularly for our 3D printing technology. The industry is increasingly shifting towards larger-scale components, which aligns favorably with our Binder Jetting technology. Under the umbrella term &#8216;Gigacastings,&#8217; we have seen a growing number of orders, both in the past year and ongoing, specifically targeting the 3D printing of large-scale forms, such as structural components in the automotive sector.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;868859&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;134816&#8243;]In automotive manufacturing, there is a rising trend towards component consolidation, wherein parts previously cast and assembled separately are now cast in a single piece. This shift translates to reduced tooling costs, assembly efforts, and consequently, noticeable reductions in overall costs for our clientele. We, too, benefit from large-scale components as they enhance our machine utilization, referring to the ratio between printed and non-printed material. They allow for optimized nesting within the job box, thereby reducing sand consumption and our own operational costs overall.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;50&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;0&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;186462&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;4&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; mobile_height=&#8221;300&#8243;][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=&#8221;50&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1589292226437{padding-right: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; position_horizontal=&#8221;right&#8221; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;5&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; column_width_pixel=&#8221;455&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1589292348537{padding-right: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text_color=&#8221;color-189024&#8243; heading_semantic=&#8221;p&#8221; text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243; text_weight=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;959676&#8243; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]Factor Quantity[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;293898&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"vxjText2\">Beyond the size of components, there is another development that addresses the scalability of Binder Jetting perfectly: batch sizes are increasing.

We see this, for instance, with a customer who now orders several thousand casting cores per quarter, despite them being more expensive than traditionally shot cores.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;188688&#8243;]Yet, the benefits of the cast parts produced via 3D printing significantly surpass those of conventionally manufactured ones.

They become more durable, stiffer, lighter, and much more\u2014depending on the function for which they are designed.

Today, that honor belongs to new technologies like artificial intelligence. However, this is just one argument indicating that additive manufacturing has reached a level of productivity where the focus is no longer solely on creating new and unique developments, but on delivering clear benefits to ensure competitive advantages and better products for businesses and end-users.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;708732&#8243;]Additive manufacturing is on its way to becoming a &#8216;standard,&#8217; and standards are rarely celebrated. This is a positive development because it demonstrates that the technology is firmly entrenched in the minds of designers and product development processes. The trend towards higher quantities and broader applications confirms this. And it is precisely these developments that make us optimistic and led to 2023 being the most profitable year in our company&#8217;s history.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221;
