The INDEX Group in Esslingen, Germany, a specialist in industrial CNC systems, is extending its business by introducing new additive manufacturing solutions. INDEX acquired a majority interest in TRUMPF’s One-Click Metal GmbH. This participation provides One-Click Metal with additional know-how and capital to continue its growth trajectory in the very promising entry-level segment for 3D printers. TRUMPF remains involved as an active and strategic partner and will support the company’s future development in collaboration with INDEX.
With a workforce of about 20 employees, One-Click Metal develops comprehensive solutions in the field of metal 3D printing for small and medium-sized components. From programming to printing, to unpacking and the powder cycle, all process steps are geared towards the simplest and most convenient use. TRUMPF employees founded the startup in April 2019 within the scope of the “TRUMPF Internehmertum” initiative and established its headquarters in Tamm, near Ludwigsburg.
