Koehler Group Promotes Innovations and Lends MakerSpace a Large-Format 3D Printer from BigRep

Koehler Group has been providing support for start-ups for a number of years. In line with this, the company recently announced a strategic partnership with UnternehmerTUM, Europe's leading center for business creation and innovation, which was founded by Susanne Klatten in 2002. As part of this start-up collaboration, Koehler Invest has now loaned a BigRep PRO 3D printer to UnternehmerTUM’s MakerSpace for one year. BigRep is one of the world’s leading companies in the field of large-format 3D printing, which can be used to speed up innovation processes, and boost flexibility and digitalization in production processes.

Kai Furler, CEO of the Koehler Group, emphasized: “With the new strategic partnership with UnternehmerTUM, our goal is to support and promote pioneering innovations, particularly in our core business areas of paper and renewable energies. The large-format 3D-printer from BigRep will prove an invaluable tool for new product innovations from start-ups.”

The system, which was developed for industrial applications, enables the production of prototypes as well as larger batches of parts, and gives inventors and developers the opportunity to develop and bring technologies to market more quickly.
