Let’s Build Readiness.
Additive Solutions for Defense ApplicationAdditive manufacturing strengthens the defense sector by enabling the rapid, on-demand production of critical components. From single spare parts to large-scale structural components in series production, LIQTRA offers customized 3D printing solutions that ensure your mission is ready.
Material-efficient
Scalable
Sovereign
Choose Freedom
Redefining 3D Printing PerformanceMoving beyond filament limitations. While LIQTRA offers both filament and pellet solutions, it is pellet-based additive manufacturing that fundamentally changes the equation for defense applications.
Radically Lower Material Costs
Use of standard industrial polymer pellets
Significant cost reduction for large or high-volume parts
True Large-Format Capability
Ideal for structural components, housings and protective elements
Reduced dependency on external machining or molding suppliers
Free Choice for Industrial Materials
Access to a broader range of engineering polymers
Tailored material formulations for defence-specific requirements
Strengthen Sovereignty
In defense settings, supply-chain sovereignty and data security equal operational integrity. Therefore, the 3D printing systems are manufactured entirely in-house and can be used decentrally via individual server solutions. With LIQTRA, you benefit from:
Key benefitsEuropean Technology Architecture:
Our solution avoids strategic dependence on non-European core systems and ensures full alignment with EU compliance and data standards.Process Stability and Traceability:
Controlled extrusion parameters ensure consistent and reproducible material behavior, supported by fully documented process data for mission-critical applications.Cyber-Secure Manufacturing:
Holistic 3D printing solutions designed to minimize digital attack surfaces, supported by a dedicated server architecture that protects part libraries and production data.
Reinforce Reliability
LIQTRA 3D Printing SolutionsApplication first: In addition to the standard 3D printers of the PX- and FX-Series, LIQTRA is able to offer customized missionspecific solutions – for deployment in extreme cold or heat, for vehicles, buildings or aircraft, with or without rugged casing, and scalable in size and output.
PX-C1150
The LIQTRA PX-C1100 is designed for fast 3D printing with high production rates. The lightweight print head is spatially separated from the heavy plasticizing unit. Linear direct motors were installed for the X-Y kinematics to enable the weight-optimized and lightweight print head to be moved at high speeds and with high acceleration.
PX-R2100-Twin
The PX-R2100-Twin is a robot-based FGF printer designed with two VPX-1 print heads specifically for the series production of a certain application. For this purpose, the process planning for 6-axis kinematics was expanded, which can also be used as a basis for non-planar 3D printing.
FX-7 Pro
The LIQTRA FX-7 Pro is a high-performance 3D printer designed for professionals who demand exceptional quality, speed, and precision. With its robust features and user-friendly interface, LIQTRA FX-7 Pro empowers businesses to push the boundaries of innovation and achieve their 3D printing goals with ease.
Application First is Key to 3D Printing Success Across Industries
Custom SolutionsIn our perspective, success in Additive Manufacturing depends on the extent to which the 3D printing prcocess can be tailored to the specific application. Therefore, our philosophy is to focus on the application and then design the 3D printing system according to the requirements. Since Liqtra develops its own hardware and software in-house, we can implement customer-specific solutions in addition to our standard 3D printers to give our customers access to the full potential of 3D printing.
