  • From Steel to Carbon Fiber: Celette Launches 3D Printing Services

    Carbon Fiber 3D Printing Services: Celette’s Next Chapter

    July 28, 2026

    carbon fiber 3D printing services Celette

    Celette’s new carbon fiber 3D printing services mark a turning point for a company long known for steel: straightening benches, universal jig systems, and precision measuring equipment trusted by bodyshops and OEM-approved repair networks worldwide. Celette’s name has long been synonymous with structural repair accuracy in the world of collision repair.

    Today, that reputation is expanding into a new material and a new process. Celette is launching a new business unit built entirely around carbon fiber 3D printing services, open to any industry, not just the automotive world it grew up in.

    What Carbon Fiber 3D Printing Services Actually Means

    In practice, Celette’s carbon fiber 3D printing services combine two things: a specific material and a specific process, both chosen deliberately rather than offered as a broad, generalist catalog.

    The material is carbon-fiber reinforced filament. Parts printed with carbon-fiber reinforcement offer a high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent stiffness, holding up to mechanical stress in ways standard plastics simply can’t. That makes them suitable for functional, load-bearing components, not just visual prototypes.

    The process is FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling). Rather than spreading expertise across multiple 3D printing technologies, Celette’s team focuses on FDM exclusively, mastering the combination of this process with carbon-fiber composites in depth. One process, done right, consistently beats five processes done adequately.

    Why Carbon Fiber, Why Now

    More and more industries need parts that are light, strong, and built to exact specifications, often in small runs or one-off configurations that traditional manufacturing struggles to deliver quickly or affordably. Injection molding requires expensive tooling that only makes sense at scale. Machining wastes material and time on complex geometries. Carbon fiber 3D printing services fill that gap: fast turnaround, no tooling costs, and parts strong enough for real industrial use.

    From Steel Precision to Printed Precision

    The bodyshop world runs on precision: exact tolerances, repeatable results, parts that hold up under real mechanical stress. That same discipline now shapes Celette’s carbon fiber 3D printing services, only the material and the process have changed.

    Where the historic Celette range relies on steel and precision-machined components, this new unit builds parts layer by layer, using carbon-fiber reinforced filament and FDM printing to produce industrial parts designed for real-world use.

    Where Carbon Fiber 3D Printing Services Fit In

    In practice, this kind of service tends to cover a few recurring needs: replacement parts that are no longer manufactured or hard to source, custom fixtures and tooling built to exact specifications, functional prototypes that need to survive real mechanical testing rather than just look right, and small-batch production runs where traditional tooling costs don’t make sense. Carbon fiber 3D printing services are particularly well suited to any of these situations, since they remove the upfront tooling cost and shorten the time between a design and a usable part.

    Two Businesses, One Standard

    Celette’s move into carbon fiber 3D printing services isn’t a departure from its roots, it’s an extension of them. The same rigor that made Celette a reference name in structural repair now shapes a new generation of industrial parts, built layer by layer instead of bent and welded, for whoever needs them.

    From steel to carbon fiber, the standard stays the same: precision that holds up under pressure.

    Celette at Automechanika Frankfurt 2026: Introducing 3D Printing Services

    Celette will exhibit at Automechanika Frankfurt 2026, September 8–12, Hall 11.0, Stand C55. Alongside its well-known range of body repair equipment, this year’s stand puts the spotlight on Celette’s newest business unit: Celette – 3D Printing Services, dedicated to carbon-fiber reinforced FDM printing for industrial parts.

    Celette – 3D Printing Services: The Business Behind the Stand

    Celette – 3D Printing Services is a dedicated unit built around a focused, deliberate approach to additive manufacturing. Rather than offering a broad, generalist 3D printing service, the business specializes in technical parts made from reinforced carbon-fiber materials, produced exclusively through FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling).

    That focus is intentional. By mastering one material and one process in depth, rather than spreading expertise across several, Celette can deliver parts that are strong, lightweight, and durable enough for demanding industrial use — not decorative prototypes, but functional components built to hold up under real mechanical stress.

    Just as important: this new business isn’t limited to the bodyshop world Celette grew up in. Celette – 3D Printing Services is open to any client, in any industry, in need of custom industrial parts, from manufacturers and workshops to design offices looking for a faster, lighter alternative to traditional production methods. Automotive is where Celette‘s precision was forged; it’s no longer the limit of where that precision can go.

    At Automechanika Frankfurt, this business unit takes center stage on a dedicated 3D Printing Corner, where visitors can see the offering up close: 3D-printed jigs, a selection of samples showcasing Celette’s technical know-how in carbon-fiber reinforced FDM printing, and goodies to take home.

    For visitors, the 3D Printing Corner is also a chance to talk directly with the team behind Celette – 3D Printing Services: to bring a specific part or project, ask questions about carbon-fiber reinforced materials, and understand how FDM printing can replace obsolete components, produce custom tooling, or support short production runs without the cost and lead time of traditional manufacturing.

    Celette Equipment on Display

    Alongside this new activity, Hall 11.0, Stand C55 will also feature a selection of Celette‘s core equipment, designed to meet the needs of modern body shops and repair centers.

    The X-Trac will be shown alongside the Naja electronic measuring system, together with a straightening bench in aluminum and the Cameleon universal jig system in aluminum.

    This configuration highlights Celette’s comprehensive approach to modern collision repair, combining structural precision with workshop flexibility. The aluminum bench, known for its robustness and lighter footprint, works seamlessly with the Cameleon system to enable fast setup and accurate vehicle positioning across a wide range of models, ensuring efficient and repeatable structural repairs in line with manufacturer standards. Complementing this setup, the Naja measuring system demonstrates a practical, precise approach to damage assessment and verification, while the X-Trac rounds out the equipment on display as part of Celette’s core repair toolkit.
