Ter Hoek Expands into Technical Ceramic Manufacturing with XJet Carmel 1400C 3D Printing Solution

XJet 3D/IL, a leader in direct material jetting additive manufacturing solutions, announced that Ter Hoek, a renowned Dutch precision manufacturing specialist based in Rijssen, has adopted the XJet Carmel 1400C ceramic 3D printing system. This collaboration brings XJet’s proprietary NanoParticle Jetting™ (NPJ) technology to one of Europe’s most demanding precision manufacturing environments, expanding both companies’ ability to serve high-tech industries with cutting-edge ceramic solutions that push the boundaries of design complexity and manufacturing precision.

From Metal Excellence to Ceramic Innovation: A Strategic Leap in Digital Production

Ter Hoek, celebrated for excellence in precision metal manufacturing through advanced EDM, PECM, and ultra-precise CNC milling technologies since the 1990s, is now expanding its expertise into technical ceramics. The decision represents an ambitious capability increase – from conductive metal materials to high-performance insulation materials – that not only diversifies Ter Hoek’s material portfolio but fundamentally upgrades its production process into an automated, digital workflow, positioning the company at the forefront of next generation precision manufacturing. The addition of XJet’s Carmel 1400C solution enables Ter Hoek to produce geometrically complex ceramic components with exceptional accuracy and superior surface quality, opening new possibilities for regional customers in aerospace, semiconductor, medical technology, and other innovative sectors where geometric innovation and material performance are paramount.

A key advantage of the XJet-Ter Hoek collaboration is the comprehensive support provided throughout the entire product lifecycle. XJet’s Carmel 1400C system is engineered to handle both rapid prototyping and production-scale manufacturing, aligning perfectly with Ter Hoek’s proven service model spanning engineering consultation to production enablement.

Founded in 1990, Ter Hoek Vonkerosie Rijssen B.V. has grown from a small precision workshop into a trusted partner for some of Europe’s most demanding high-tech industries. With deep expertise in advanced machining and manufacturing, Ter Hoek produces extremely precise components for sectors including aerospace, semiconductor, aviation, and medical technology. The company has built a reputation on problem-solving and collaboration, working closely with customers from early design consultation through to prototyping and series production. Ter Hoek’s highly skilled engineering team combines traditional precision techniques, such as wire EDM, micro-wire EDM, die sinking, micro EDM milling and ultra-precise CNC milling, with cutting-edge methods like Precision Electro Chemical Machining (PECM) to manufacture components with tolerances down to microns.
