OVER 3DCAPO
Who is behind 3dcapo.de?
I am Gottlob – Founder and head behind 3dcapo.de. Born 1964, for many years in the trucking and forwarding sector and at some point in 3D Printing, Laser engraving and digital manufacturing stuck.
From a hobby in the workshop, a small, versatile production has emerged step by step. Today, the 3DCapo not only about individual products, but above all about putting ideas into practice: from 3D-printed individual parts via personalized engravings up to small series and custom-made products.
FROM TRUCK TO MANUFACTURE
Practical ideas instead of mass products.
My roots are in the freight forwarding world. Trucks, technology and practical solutions have accompanied me for decades. This is exactly what led to many of the first ideas: things that really help in everyday life, fit better or simply be more individual.
In the beginning there was an individual 3D-Printers. This resulted in prototypes, improvements, further machines and finally a small production facility. Much is directly developed, tested, adapted and produced here. No anonymous mass-produced goods, but short distances and the possibility to respond to special requests.
WHAT WE DO
3D Printing, Laser engraving and individual production.
3D
3D printing
Individual parts, prototypes, personalized products and small series in different materials and qualities.
✦
Laser engraving
Engravings and markings on metal, wood, coated surfaces, plastics and many other materials.
◒
Sublimation
Colorful, durable prints on suitable products – from cups to personalized small series.
TECHNIQUE IN SERVICE
Not a machine for everything – but the right technology for the job.
3D Printing-Farm
The machine park includes several Bambu Lab systems – among others H2C, H2D, X2D, P2S, P1S and A1 – supplemented by Anycubic for particularly large components. Multicolor printing and automatic material change have long been part of everyday life.
MOPA & Fiber lasers
With the xTool F2 Ultra 60W MOPA and the xTool F1 Ultra metals can be precisely marked and engraved. Depending on the material, fine labels, logos, serial numbers and high-contrast markings are possible.
CO₂- & Diode lasers
Wood, acrylic, glass and other materials include Atomstack Hurricanes CO₂ 55W and a iKier K1 Pro Max 48W available. The F2 Ultra complements the whole thing with its 40W-Diode module.
For round workpieces and series, suitable extensions such as rotation modules and conveyor technology are also available. The decisive factor here is not the number of devices, but that the appropriate technology can be used for the material, shape and desired result.
WORKING
Direct, flexible and without unnecessary detours.
I like solutions that work. Therefore, in 3DCapo not only produced, but also tried, adapted and improved. Especially for custom-made products, this is a great advantage: changing dimensions, changing materials, adding a name or integrating a company logo can often be solved much more easily than with classic mass-produced goods.
3D Printing remaining 3D Printing – Layer lines belong to this, depending on the method. Laser engraving also lives on the respective material and its surface. It is important to me to communicate such things openly and to deliver a result that fits the actual purpose of use.
A LITTLE BIT BACKWARDS
From television back to the workshop.
2012 i’m in the RTL documentary “Dream woman wanted” landed. An unusual experience that has little to do with my everyday life today, but has definitely remained in memory.
2024 then he has the SWR in the Landesschau on my way from trucker to 3D Printing reported. This was much closer to what defines me today: technology, workshop and the joy of making a real part of an idea.
PERSONAL
What if the machines stop?
- My roots still lie in the trucking and forwarding world.
- Scania still has a special place with me.
- If there is time, I like to go with the Harley or the e-bike.
- And new machines, tools or manufacturing processes probably make me curious faster than would be reasonable.
