Last week, we had the pleasure of visiting the innovative GITUMA student lab (Foundry Technology and Metalworking) at Armin-Knab-Gymnasium in Kitzingen. This exceptional lab offers students a unique opportunity to gain practical experience in foundry technology and metalworking.

In GITUMA, students independently design models, create molds, and carry out complex metallurgical and 3D printing processes. The lab is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including CAD software, 3D printers, X-ray spectroscopy for material analysis, and CO₂ lasers for versatile applications. These hands-on experiences help students understand the physical properties of metals and develop their technical skills.

“The projects not only enhance technical understanding but also create a valuable link between theory and practice,” explains Mr. Schwab, head of the school project. Another highlight is the collaboration with local companies such as Franken GUSS GmbH & Co. KG, giving students insights into the professional world and potential career paths in the technical field.

We, at REITEL Feinwerktechnik GmbH, are proud to support the project with our equipment, either provided at discounted rates or as donations. This allows students to scan models and process them using vacuum casting – an essential step in foundry technology.

Our visit clearly demonstrated how inspiring and motivating it is for young people to experience science and technology in a practical context. The GITUMA student lab is a shining example of how education and industry can successfully collaborate to nurture the next generation of technical professionals.

Last week, we had the pleasure of visiting Kumovis (a division of 3D Systems) in Munich. The focus of this meeting was not only on getting to know each other personally but also on discussing our successful sales collaboration and the integration of our products into the Kumovis process chain.

Our workstations, specifically developed for the digital workflow, have now become an integral part of the Kumovis production chain and are well established in the market. They offer users significant advantages, particularly when it comes to the health-conscious removal of support structures. With their integrated extraction system, shielding from ambient dust, magnifying function, and connectors for small devices, they have proven to be indispensable tools in daily practice. Additionally, the disinfectable and scratch-resistant work surface ensures the highest hygiene standards – a must in the medical environment.

The visit provided us with the opportunity to gain valuable insights into the workflows and requirements of Kumovis' customers. Together, we discussed future strategies to position our products even more effectively in the market and thereby enhance the value for the customers of both companies.

We would like to thank the Kumovis team for their hospitality and look forward to continuing our successful partnership.
