How INTAMSYS 3D Printing Enhanced ASMPT’s Competitive Edge in Semiconductor Production
As advancements in AI, autonomous driving, and Web3.0 fuel demand for high-performance computing, the high-end semiconductor industry is experiencing rapid growth. In this landscape, INTAMSYS, a leading player in FFF 3D printing sector, has become a trusted partner for high-tech manufacturers, known for its strong technical expertise and dedication to innovation.
One such collaboration with ASMPT, a global leader in semiconductor packaging and electronic equipment manufacturing, highlights the unique advantages of INTAMSYS’ 3D printing solutions.
INTAMSYS and ASMPT have worked together since 2018, exploring best practices for integrating 3D printing into high-end manufacturing. As an industry leader, ASMPT has prioritized the adoption of 3D printing for its potential to streamline processes and reduce costs.
In a market crowded with emerging brands, INTAMSYS stood out for its value, offering flexibility with open-source materials and parameters - a crucial feature for early adopters needing adaptability in performance optimization and new material development.
In 2024, INTAMSYS launched the FUNMAT PRO 310 NEO, a high-speed industrial 3D printer designed for versatility. With its robust capabilities, the 310 NEO was a natural choice for ASMPT, which became one of its first users. Following extensive use, the 310 NEO demonstrated exceptional results in semiconductor equipment manufacturing, reinforcing INTAMSYS’ reputation for cost efficiency, advanced printing capabilities, material compatibility, and comprehensive support.
ASMPT has leveraged the FUNMAT PRO 310 NEO in four primary application areas:
1. Prototyping: 3D printing ability to create rapid prototypes supports fast design iterations and product validation. The 310 NEO, with itsability to quickly and accurately print PC and ABS parts at 500–1000g per day, allows ASMPT engineers to bring designs to life efficiently, accelerating the R&D process.
2. Tooling & Fixtures: With ASMPT’s diverse product line and intricate wiring, custom fixtures are essential for organized assembly. Although quantities are low, the fixturesrequire high durability. The 310 NEO efficiently produces high-strength, heat-resistant materials like PPS-CF and PPA-CF, meeting these demands with ease.
3. End-Use Parts: Improvements in 3D printing materials have made it possible to manufacture end-use parts. ASMPThas used the 310 NEO to produce durable parts like protective covers, wire clips, base connectors, and TPU parts that are integrated into their products and delivered directly to customers.
4. Casting & Mold Production: The 310 NEO enables cost-effective sand casting by producing large-scale models with low infill, streamlining the molding process.ASMPT found that even with a 9% infill, the printed models meet casting requirements, leading to faster, more efficient production at reduced costs.
INTAMSYS’ 3D printing equipment has earned the trust of clients like ASMPT for its efficiency, stability, and reliability. In use, the 310 NEO has reduced production times compared to traditional methods and cut production costs by 50% or more. Beyond time and cost savings, INTAMSYS’ all-inclusive support ensures seamless operations, helping clients realize fast returns on their investment.
For ASMPT, consistency, stability, and high success rates in 3D printing are essential, and these qualities have made INTAMSYS a trusted choice over the years.
The FUNMAT PRO 310 NEO combines optimized hardware, a precise print process, and a stable high-temperature chamber to achieve consistent, full-size prints. Validated by over 240,000 hours of operation and the production of 30,000 parts, the 310 NEO supports reliable, continuous production. This desktop machine bridges industrial performance with the convenience of desktop size, complementing existing large-format, high-speed industrial FFF solutions.
Introducing the FUNMAT PRO 310 NEO has significantly boosted ASMPT’s productivity - not only by reducing cost and shortening lead times but also by delivering lasting economic benefits and accelerating time to market.
For high-end manufacturers facing pressure to increase efficiency and reduce costs, collaboration with leaders in 3D printing can offer a competitive edge. INTAMSYS remains committed to innovation, advancing 3D printing technology to deliver reliable, efficient solutions across diverse industries.
After thorough research and benchmarking, WEERG chose INTAMSYS as their supplier. The INTAMSYS FUNMAT PRO 410 met all their requirements with features like a heated chamber, dual heated nozzles, and a heated filament chamber.
INTAMSYS offered one single solution that got it all:
We accompany our customers in a professional manner throughout the entire project - from planning and design to the prototype or the production of a complete series. Combining our 3D printing processes with conventional component processing, post-processing and surface refinement of the prototypes, small series or even a trade fair exhibit is our daily business. Since the company was founded in 1995, our experienced team in Gross-Gerau has made a name for itself well beyond the borders of the Rhine-Main area. We are one of the leading service providers for everything to do with 3D printing and have more than satisfied customers from a wide variety of industries - from the automotive and consumer goods industries to mechanical engineering and companies from the medical technology sector.

The tank holder is a new part in this year´s racing car. The part is printed on the FUNMAT PRO 610HT with the material choice of ABS. For the driverless disciplines, the team uses pressurized air to activate the brakes in an emergency. This year, they changed the concept of how pressurized air is stored, which required a new mounting solution. The tank holder is designed to solve this challenge.
Other 3D printed parts, using the FUNMAT PRO 610HT and PC material, are the flap ribs that play a crucial role in the construction of the car’s side wing. These ribs are glued into the carbon-fiber shells and incorporate threaded inserts for attaching the wing to the chassis.
While the team has used these ribs for years, they have redesigned for this season to accommodate changes in the aerodynamic shape of the wings. Using INTAMSUITE™ NEO and the 3D printing technology, they conducted topology optimization to achieve the lightest possible geometry, resulting in an organic shape that would not be possible to manufacture by milling.
