Concept Laser breaks ground for new headquarters

Dec. 1, 2017
When ready, the 3D Campus will unite research and development with production, service, and logistics. 

GE (Boston, MA) and Concept Laser (Lichtenfels, Germany) have laid the foundation for a new facility in Lichtenfels in response to recent outstanding growth. When ready, the 3D Campus will unite research and development with production, service, and logistics.

The 3D Campus will provide around 40,000 square meters for about 500 employees. Its future machine production capacity will be 4X higher as well, making the facility a global GE center for producing 3D metal printing (also known as additive manufacturing) machines.

The 3D Campus will unite research and development along with production, service, and logistics; a €105 million investment will make Concept Laser's Lichtenfels facility a global GE center for producing 3D metal printing machines.

About €105 million will be invested into the new facility, which should be ready for move-in by early 2019.
