Technical documentation
We make sure that our customers have access to all relevant information about the development of our products. That’s why we provide written and visual information about the design, features, function and performance of each 3D printed part, among other specifications.
Personalization
Thanks to our 3D printer we can custom a wide variety of parts and products to adapt to the specific needs of each client. From prototypes to final parts, 3D printing technology allows you to design custom solutions and print them exactly how you want them.
High quality 3D printing
We can select various 3D designs and control the voxels during the printing process so that the result is achieved with a high level of detail and even an optimal level of detail. Thanks to this, our 3D printed products materialize with exceptional quality, even when it comes to complex details.
Application of 3D printing in agriculture
Technology plays an important role in agriculture as it streamlines processes such as food production, transportation, marketing, and more. As a result, 3D printing applications are emerging across the industry to optimize existing workflows. We’re seeing improvements in structural operations, equipment replacement parts, and the everyday tools and fixtures farmers need. 3D printed tools are often used to grow crops because they can exponentially improve the process by increasing efficiency and custom. These tools can produce quickly, efficiently and remotely, bringing benefits to all parties, including saving energy and money.
Prototype agricultural parts with Elimold
With our simple ordering process, you get fast results that are critical to achieving your agricultural manufacturing goals. By partnering with us, your prototyping projects and experiments will be completed faster and more efficiently than before. You can then finalize your product and launch it into the market to gain an edge over your competitors.
As a farmer, agricultural professional or educator, you can receive exactly the parts you need in the shortest possible time without waiting for long shipping times or production delays. For replacement or repair parts, 3D printing has become the first choice.
Cost-effective short-run, low-volume production
While traditional manufacturing methods excel at producing large quantities of identical products, they often struggle with short-run production. The setup costs associated with traditional methods can make short-run manufacturing cost-prohibitive.
In contrast, Elimold’s 3D printing service for the agricultural industry is well suited for short-run production. Agricultural businesses can produce small batches of products quickly and cost-effectively, making it easier to meet niche market needs or create limited-edition products. This is particularly useful in the agricultural industry, where custom parts are often required.
Useful for both prototyping and production
3D printing technology can be used for prototyping and production. 3D printing is the easiest way to implement the prototyping process and is also becoming an amazing production technology for a variety of projects, as new corrosion-resistant 3D printing materials are now available on the market. The biggest advantage of 3D printing is that farmers or agricultural equipment manufacturers can truly print equipment on demand. Particularly useful for printing equipment in remote areas. And plastic and metal 3D printing can be used in agricultural projects.
Mass custom
Agriculture and technology have a lot in common. For food production, agricultural equipment, agricultural products, 3D printing can be a huge asset and streamline many processes. 3D printing is the perfect tool for mass custom. In fact, this technology is ideal for creating custom objects for many different fields, such as medical or automotive.
This mass custom aspect is also a big advantage for agriculture. For example, having access to 3D printing tools is particularly convenient. And the tools can then be adapted to the activity and its actual specific use. Using additive manufacturing is a great way to create perfectly designed objects.

What is the 3D printing of components for agriculture and industry?
The 3D printing of parts for professional equipment for agriculture and industry is essential for the sector to adapt to its present situation with a view to the future.
To adapt to the growing demands of machinery in the sector, we use additive manufacturing technology to create parts from digital designs. Now, we not only use 3D printing in our manufacturing processes for air equipment parts, but we also offer it for you to use for your own projects.
In other words, if you have a test piece, a prototype or an idea, you can provide it to us and at Elimold we will take care of validating the design, printing it in 3D and making the desired custom.
Custom and Flexibility
In a world where consumers increasingly expect personalized products, 3D printing offers the perfect solution. Unlike traditional manufacturing, which is constrained by standardized molds and processes, 3D printing offers unlimited custom potential.
Whether you are producing personalized agricultural products or custom parts for agricultural equipment, Elimold’s agricultural 3D printing services can meet all your needs. With 3D printing, agricultural industry companies can quickly switch between different designs, materials and specifications to easily meet individual customer needs without incurring additional costs. The ability of our on-demand production service to highly custom products sets 3D printing apart from other manufacturing methods, providing agricultural companies with unparalleled flexibility.
Innovative Agricultural Machinery Applications
Agricultural equipment is large, complex, and expensive. As a result, the cost of replacing parts can quickly become expensive; especially when a machine becomes obsolete and replacement parts are no longer available or difficult to find. By leveraging Elimold’s agricultural 3D printing solutions, these replacement parts can be produced quickly to reduce downtime, which is important because agricultural applications are often time-dependent due to changes in weather and how crops need to be treated to keep the fields on schedule. These machines are also an essential part of food production, from tractors and harvesters to seeders and fertilizer spreaders. By increasing cost savings and productivity and reducing delivery times, 3D printing in agricultural solutions is revolutionizing multiple aspects of the industry.
