DN Solutions is celebrating the official opening of its first Additive Solutions Center (ASC) in Europe, located in Gütersloh, Germany. With this new research and development center, DN Solutions marks a major milestone in its strategic focus on additive manufacturing technologies. Going forward, the company’s global additive business will be managed from this site. The close integration of 3D printing and CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology increases the efficiency of production processes and shortens the development cycles of new manufacturing processes for customers and partners.
The ASC in Gütersloh serves as DN Solutions’ global control hub for all AM-related topics. Projects from companies across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East will be supported operationally from here. Spanning approximately 1,000 m², the center showcases the interaction between additive manufacturing and CNC technology. From training sessions and live demonstrations to the implementation of turnkey projects, DN Solutions supports companies at the new site as they launch or scale their additive manufacturing operations. Customers receive a comprehensive view of industrial additive manufacturing applications and how they can be integrated into existing production environments.
In addition to the DLX series for additive manufacturing, the portfolio includes CNC turning centers, milling machines, 5-axis simultaneous machining centers, mill-turn centers, and automation solutions. A selection of DN Solutions machines can now be seen at the ASC in Gütersloh and will be used there to process AM components: DLX150, DLX450, DNX2100, DVF5000, Lynx2600, and DNM5700.
The DN Solutions team in Gütersloh brings an average of more than twelve years of experience in additive manufacturing. It consists of recognized experts with deep understanding of the market, customer requirements, and technologies, and has extensive experience working with customers around the world. Close exchange with DN Solutions sites in Korea and the United States, along with synergies with local CNC product specialists, enables the research, testing, and implementation of hybrid processes that combine additive and subtractive machining.
Additive manufacturing in focus
For DN Solutions, additive manufacturing is a key element of its long-term corporate strategy. The technology enables the production of complex geometries and internal structures with high material efficiency – an essential advantage in global growth industries such as aerospace, medical technology, and semiconductor. DN Solutions supports customers from the first powder layer to the finished, ready-to-use part, combining additive (AM) and subtractive (CNC) methods. This so-called AM2CNC approach increases productivity and delivers tailored solutions for diverse market requirements.
Gütersloh as an industrial hub
Gütersloh offers DN Solutions an ideal environment with a strong industrial base, strategically located on the A2 motorway. The city is home to well-known companies such as Miele and Bertelsmann. Proximity to key supply chains, renowned educational institutions, and partners such as Beckhoff supports development, service, and rapid market introduction. The central location also provides easy access to all surrounding European countries. With the opening of the ASC, DN Solutions strengthens Germany’s role as a technology hub within the DN Solutions Group, which has only recently completed the acquisition of the German machine tool manufacturer Heller.
Integration and global collaboration
The Additive Solutions Center Europe plays a decisive role in DN Solutions’ strategic direction. The Gütersloh ASC is one of three currently located in the most important economic regions for DN Solutions. Additional centers are located in Korea (Changwon) and the United States (Chicago). This international network enables the exchange of knowledge and technologies, fostering the development of advanced solutions. By further advancing additive manufacturing, DN Solutions is setting new benchmarks for the efficiency and adaptability of machine tools.
