“Established in 2013 as Scandinavia’s pioneer in 3D-printed sand molds, Hetitec has transformed into a full-service foundry offering advanced, flexible manufacturing options that drastically cut lead times, catering to sectors like automotive, energy, and machinery.”
With their innovative approach, Hetitec uses high-speed 3D printing combined with traditional molding to create complex parts weighing up to 650 kg in iron and 500 kg in steel. The company operates from a multi-material facility within Tampere’s TAKK campus, equipped with advanced voxeljet printers, allowing them to deliver precise, cost-effective casting solutions. This capability is critical for clients needing complex parts quickly, as Hetitec’s 3D-printed molds eliminate traditional pattern-making steps, enabling design changes even late in the process. By shifting from weeks to days in their casting cycles, Hetitec embodies their motto, “We cast it faster.”
