Individual housings SLS
ASSEMBLIFY from Nuremberg specializes in the custom construction of mechatronic devices and is a reliable partner for technical solutions. For DEKRA, Assemblify developed a new housing for testing devices based on specific data sets – lighter, more compact, and more flexible than the previous aluminum version. While ASSEMBLIFY implemented the electronics, our task was to print and develop a robust, functionally integrated housing that would withstand the demanding requirements of everyday testing – from transport to application.
The main challenge was integrating numerous components—including backpack buckles, USB sliders, and other functional elements—in a single SLS printing process. The build space had to be utilized efficiently, dimensional accuracy ensured, and a break-resistant material found.
To achieve this goal, we developed our own solutions and invested in a new SLS printer. A key innovation was our ultra-thin heat shield, which enables even cooling of large components—crucial for dimensional accuracy.
Formlabs' PA12 Tough was also used – a material that is still relatively uncommon in Germany. It combines stability, fracture resistance, dimensional stability, and sustainability, as a high proportion of the recycled material can be reused.
The result: a modern, lightweight, and extremely robust test device housing, born from an idea and realized through expertise, creativity, and the latest manufacturing technologies. Together with ASSEMBLIFY and DEKRA, a solution has been created that sets standards.
