Endless industries is a Berlin-based startup developing a 3D printer based on continuous fiber 3D printing. Interestingly, by participating in the Formenxt Startup Challenge in 2023, the company positioned itself as a developer of printheads and nozzle technology with the aim of improving the way FDM 3D printing is done.
Its business model has changed over time. And today, Stephan Körber, Mathias Czasny, and Moritz Ebeling–Hull, The company's founders are working hard to accelerate the go-to-market strategy of a technology originally developed by Czasny, CTO. The ultimate goal of the CTO is to make composite additive manufacturing easier than what we previously experienced with traditional composite manufacturing.
To achieve this, the team sets up an open manufacturing strategy to meet the demanding structural requirements of the industry. Called Endless, The company's flagship product can provide scalability and customization across industries, from medical to automotive to aerospace.
With a build volume of 600 × 400 × 440 mm, the machine's heatable build chamber can reach up to 100 °C and the print bed up to 180 °C.
Their manufacturing portfolio is supported by their proprietary Akio slicing software, which plans fiber layouts for parts.
The company demonstrated its technological capabilities at Formnext 2024 Orthoses and tool applications. For example, the team explained that their 3D printer can produce tools that can withstand high autoclave temperatures and pressures at lower cost and production time compared to traditional tooling processes.
While it is not clear whether the company continues to market printheads or not, we believe it has the potential to become a one-stop shop for everything related to continuous fiber 3D printing (hardware, software, and materials). Given the current need for large parts in the market and the ability of continuous fiber 3D printing to meet such production needs, I can only hope that Endless Industries is up to the challenge.
