Diebold Nixdorf Adopts FFF 3D Printing for Cutting-Edge Banking Solutions

When thinking of banking equipment, most people conjure an image of old-fashioned money-counting machines or tools used by tellers sitting behind their counters. But as one of the oldest professions, dating back to records from around 2000 BCE in ancient Mesopotamia, it stands to reason that banking and its institutions are constantly looking to innovate. As banking industry evolves from its ancient roots, institutions like Diebold Nixdorf are at the forefront of innovation, leveraging cutting-edge technologies to revolutionize their operations. A notable leap in this journey is the integration of 3D printing into their manufacturing processes, and more specifically of INTAMSYS 3D printing solutions.

Diebold Nixdorf is an American multinational company, leader in the production of innovative banking solutions and retail technology. In particular, the company specializes in banking automation, producing ATMs, smart safes, and inquiry terminals. Since October 2020, Diebold Nixdorf has partnered with FPFTech (Fundação Amazônica for Support to Research and Technological Development Judge Paulo dos Anjos), a non-profit Research and Development institution, to adopt additive manufacturing in its production processes, with the support of INTAMSYS.

Why Did Diebold Nixdorf Turn to 3D Printing?

Though banking solutions may not be what we most hear about when it comes to applications where 3D printing is useful, in the case of Diebold Nixdorf, it seems to have become an integral part of production. Diebold Nixdorf chose two 3D printers to meet their production needs. This includes one from INTAMSYS, the large build volume FFF 3D printer FUNMAT PRO 610HT for large parts and more material choice (notably with high-performance filaments).
