Precision and Stability: The Future of Electrical Connectors through FDR 3D Printing
WAGO leverages industrial 3D printing from EOS to rapidly and reliably produce highly precise prototypes of junction boxes. This shortens development times and ensures quality is tested early in the prototyping phase.
The WAGO Group, a global leader in electrical connection and automation technology, faced the challenge of developing a new junction box that meets the highest safety and functional requirements. A key factor was ensuring reliable wire connections under load—a complex task demanding utmost precision during prototyping.
To make the development process more efficient, WAGO turned to industrial 3D printing from EOS. Using the FORMIGA P 110 system and PA 1101 material combined with FDR technology (Fine Detail Resolution), WAGO was able to produce highly detailed, functional prototypes of the junction box and the internal spring clamp technology—quickly, precisely, and extremely reliably.
Key benefits at a glance:
-
Fast delivery of components available within days, not weeks
-
Top-tier quality indistinguishable from the final product
-
Optimized efficiency with minimal post-processing
