Dutch Precision Manufacturer Ter Hoek Diversifies With XJet 1400C Ceramic 3D Printing

Dutch precision manufacturing firm Ter Hoek has acquired an XJet 1400C ceramic 3D printing system, marking a significant expansion into technical ceramics for the manufacturing services provider.

Based in the Netherlands, Ter Hoek has traditionally focused on advanced EDM, PECM, and ultra-precise CNC milling technologies. The addition of XJet's NanoParticle Jetting technology represents a strategic diversification into ceramic additive manufacturing.

Ceramic AM for High-Tech Industries

The company expects the XJet Carmel 1400C to enable production of geometrically complex ceramic components with exceptional accuracy and superior surface quality. This capability will open new possibilities for regional customers in:

• Aerospace
• Semiconductor
• Medical technology
• Other innovative sectors

In the future of manufacturing, sustained success will hinge on continuous differentiation and innovation, said Gerrit Ter Hoek, Founder and Technical Director at Ter Hoek. By entering the world of technical ceramics with XJet's digital production platform, we're not just adding a new material — we're embracing a fundamentally new way of manufacturing that offers unprecedented design freedom, faster iteration cycles, and the ability to produce parts that were simply impossible before.

Partnership for Regional Expansion

Riccardo Tosi, European Business Director at XJet, commented: We're excited to partner with Ter Hoek, a company that shares our unwavering commitment to precision, innovation, and customer success. Their expertise in solving complex manufacturing challenges, combined with our advanced ceramic additive manufacturing technology, creates a powerful combination that will benefit engineers and manufacturers throughout the region.

The partnership positions Ter Hoek at the forefront of precision manufacturing, enabling it to serve industries where geometric innovation and material performance are paramount.
