In automation, speed matters. Tight development timelines, increasing complexity, and expanding product portfolios can put innovation under pressure. At the same time, unexpected downtime can impact productivity and drive up costs.
That’s where IMS Gear comes in. We go beyond supplying components. As your strategic partner, we support you throughout the entire machine lifecycle, helping you shorten development cycles, improve reliability, and accelerate time to market.
Greater flexibility for your drive systems:
Using FDM 3D printing and rapid tooling, we create custom components quickly, economically, and close to production standards. This enables a scalable manufacturing strategy that evolves as your business grows.
From the first idea to high-volume production. Fast. Flexible. Globally available.

At IMS Gear we don’t settle for short-term fixes, we go beyond, delivering proven quality, guaranteed performance and reliable partnerships built on over 160 years of engineering expertise. We address your very specific challenges, reducing risks, saving costs and supporting your long-term sustainability goals.
Phase 1: Accelerate Development
3D-Printed Small Series: We deliver custom gear solutions at record speed. Shorten your time-to-market by starting with agile, 3D-printed small series that are validated for serial production.
Phase 2: Flexibilize Business Models
Gear-as-a-Service (GaaS): Shift from CAPEX to OPEX. With our flexible leasing models, you pay for guaranteed performance instead of hardware, while contractually securing your uptime.
Phase 3: Maximize Uptime
Predictive Maintenance: We turn machine data into guaranteed uptime. Replace components before a failure occurs, minimize downtime, and enable proactive service planning for maximum efficiency.
Phase 4: Extend Lifecycle
Gear Refurbishment: Give proven gears a second life with full IMS Gear quality. Extend the lifecycle of you machines, reduce costs, and improve your carbon footprint with measurable results: +40% Uptime | -60% CAPEX | -90% CO2.
With 3D printing and rapid tooling, we turn custom drive concepts into reality faster. Eliminate tooling costs, accelerate development, and move seamlessly from prototype to series production, all while maintaining the quality, reliability, and scalability you expect from IMS Gear.
