We enable users to individually assemble and obtain authentic products and spare parts via an online shop according to their specific needs. Users digitally configure their personal model and then manufacture it themselves – for example, using 3D printing. Billing is based on the pay-per-use principle: only what is actually produced is paid for.

To achieve this, we combine three key elements: product passport, product protection, and additive manufacturing.

Once a user has created a product or spare part, other authorized users can access and independently order it. Access is granted via an individual token, which is redeemed within the application. After activation, the user receives access to the corresponding 3D data and can produce the product directly in their own environment.

We face the challenge of making our industrial value creation more sustainable, digital, and resilient. With the TECON project, we are developing innovative approaches to rethink the production, use, and recycling of products – moving away from linear structures toward a circular, data-driven system.

Our project thrives on interdisciplinary collaboration. Together with XIONI GmbH, the Chair of Enterprise Logistics at the Technical University of Dortmund, and the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics (IML), we bring together scientific excellence, application-oriented research, and technological implementation expertise.
