International Manufacturing & Outsourcing at JVK – Your Extended Workbench for Plastics Technology, Prototyping, and 3D Printing

Introduction: Outsourcing Reimagined – JVK as a Strategic Manufacturing Partner

In a globalized world where flexibility, scalability, and quality determine economic success, strategic manufacturing partnerships are gaining increasing importance. JVK Filtration Systems positions itself as an internationally experienced outsourcing partner and extended workbench – especially in the areas of plastics engineering, casting, 3D printing, prototyping, and CNC machining.

Our Commitment: Tailored manufacturing expertise for your series or individual parts, precisely to specification, applicable across industries – extending far beyond our core competence in filter technology.

Area of Expertise 1: Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) on an Industrial Scale
Today, 3D printing is a key area of modern product development and small-batch production. JVK offers high-resolution industrial 3D printing based on polymers – ideal for:

Prototype Development
Functional Parts for Small-Batch Production
Geometrically Complex Components
Integrated Assemblies with Snap-Fit, Sealing Lips, or Threads

Applications include:

FDM Printing for Robust Geometries and Simple Iterations
SLA/DLP for Smooth Surfaces and Complex Details
SLS for Technical Components with Increased Mechanical Requirements

Our material range extends from standard PLA and PETG to technical plastics (e.g., PA12, ASA, TPU) and high-performance polymers. We also offer post-processing (e.g., grinding, painting, galvanizing).

Area of Expertise 2: CNC Machining & Precision Plastic Parts

JVK operates a modern CNC department for high-precision machining of technical plastics. Our machine park includes 3- and 5-axis machining centers, automated clamping systems, and CAM interfaces for direct data transfer from CAD systems. We manufacture:

Plate Cores and Mold Inserts
Support Structures and Adapter Elements
Fixtures for Mechanical Engineering
Sample Parts for Test Benches or Pre-Series

Available materials: PE, PP, PVDF, POM, PA, PC, PTFE, technical compounds, ESD-safe materials – each with documented material batch tracking. Thanks to our many years of specialization in chemically demanding and hygienically critical application areas, we know what matters when it comes to dimensional accuracy, sealing surfaces, and media compatibility.

Area of Expertise 3: Casting Processes & Molded Part Development

For decades, JVK has been manufacturing complex plastic parts using casting processes – whether for our own filter plate production or as a contract manufacturer for external partners. Our molds are designed in-house, manufactured using CAM, and realized from aluminum or steel according to customer requirements.

We cast:

technical PP and PVDF components
Special Materials with Plasticizer or Conductivity Components
Large-Surface Parts with Mold Inserts or Cores
Rubber and Membrane Composite Parts in Hybrid Technology

Complex mold transitions, multi-component parts, and detachable separation systems are also feasible. Small series or series production with demanding repeatability – our casting department delivers reliable results.

Area of Expertise 4: Prototyping & Rapid Iteration

Especially in product development, speed and functional validation are crucial. JVK offers a structured prototyping workflow – from idea to tested component:

Design Support and CAD Optimization
3D Printing in Production Materials
Functional and Fit Prototypes
Leakage and Media Compatibility Tests
This way, you reduce iteration loops and minimize your development risk – with high speed and predictable costs.

Diverse Industries – Applications Far Beyond Filter Technology

Our outsourcing customers come from a wide range of industries:

Mechanical Engineering & Special Machine Construction
Environmental Technology & Water Treatment
Energy Supply & Power Plant Technology
Medical Technology & Biopharma
Research Institutions & Universities

Typical orders include prototype parts, sealing components, brackets, media-carrying plastic bodies, small series for pilot plants, or special parts for complex apparatuses. With JVK, you gain technical understanding, manufacturing experience, and partnership-based communication at eye level – in every project phase.
