Prototype to Production:
Koenigsegg’s Additive
Manufacturing Journey
Koenigsegg Automotive AB (known as Koenigsegg) is a Swedish manufacturer of high-performance hypercars, founded in 1994 by Christian von Koenigsegg. Renowned for pushing the boundaries of automotive engineering, the company produces some of the fastest and most technologically advanced road-legal cars in the world. It is particularly recognised for its in-house innovation, including advanced aerodynamics, lightweight carbon fibre construction, and proprietary engine technologies.
When Koenigsegg faced challenges implementing SLA 3D printing into their production, they turned to the LC Magna - unlocking greater flexibility, precision and consistency.
We caught up with Mehmet Erciyes, High-Voltage and Battery Engineering Manager at Koenigsegg.
“We are using Photocentric Magna printers for prototyping and production of our high-voltage traction battery, and of course it is a safety critical component with demanding requirements.
Photocentric have a very good ecosystem, not just the printer, with both the material and also the equipment including the post-processing. With all of this combine, created a very good flow to implement it in both prototyping and also production.”

How have your previous experiences been with SLA 3D printing?
“We had tried to work with various different types of printers using SLA technology and unfortunately a consistency problem from print to print and as we are trying to print for manufacturing, consistency was the key to implement 3D printing technology into our production. Photocentric [LC Magna] was a very good solution to catch that consistency in our prints.”
How has having the LC Magnas elevated your production?
“If you use plastic injection moulding, the iteration for each design takes a very long time, but if you have a high technology printer like the LC Magnas, You have a great amount of flexibility with design. You don’t have to lock yourself in until you are in production or homologation phase.”
“Working with Photocentric after our past experiences solved a lot of headaches, and we see Photocentric as our long-term partner.”
LC Magna. Built for Reliability and Consistency.
The LC Magna is a large-format industrial LCD 3D printer designed for both prototyping and production. It combines a high build volume with fine detail, enabling manufacturers to produce large parts or high-volume batches efficiently on a single platform.
Built for reliability and consistency, the LC Magna delivers repeatable results at speed, supported by Photocentric’s ecosystem of materials, software, and post-processing solutions. Its design focuses on reducing production bottlenecks while maintaining industrial-grade accuracy and throughput.
