Spectroplast's New CEO Outlines Materials-First Vision Following Munich Relocation

Silicone 3D printing service provider Spectroplast is entering a new chapter. In an episode of the Additive Insight podcast, produced by TCT Group, Eils sat down with the TCT Group Content Manager to discuss the relocation and his direction for the business.

A Full-Service Model Built Around Materials

Spectroplast positions itself differently from a pure printing bureau. The company supports customers across three stages: materials development, application development, and prototyping and production. That end-to-end scope means the company engages with a project well before a part ever reaches a machine.

Eils made his philosophy plain:

It all starts with materials

For manufacturing professionals evaluating silicone additive manufacturing, that framing matters. The company is focused on delivering specific materials properties for its customer base — a signal that material performance, not process alone, sits at the center of its value proposition.

Zurich to Munich: A Strategic Move

The headquarters relocation from Zurich to Munich coincided with Eils' arrival as CEO in late 2025. During the podcast, he explained what prompted the move, though the company's operational focus remains unchanged: silicone 3D printing as a service, backed by in-house materials and application development work.

What This Means for Customers

For engineering teams considering silicone AM, Spectroplast's model offers a single point of contact from material selection through to production. The company's emphasis on materials development alongside prototyping and production suggests a workflow where part properties are engineered early, rather than qualified late.

Eils also shared his vision for the company moving forward during the Additive Insight episode, which is part of the podcast series by TCT Group.
