Advantages of Additive Manufacturing
Cost Efficiency
With traditional manufacturing, production costs are highly dependant on the complexity of your component or product. All you need is a 3D printer and metal powder material, there is no more need for expensive tools or expensive custom manufacturing solutions. With carefully designed prints, you can create lighter weight products and save materials. Assemblies of hundreds of parts can be manufactured with a single print and will get you to market quicker and cheaper.
Quality
3DK Tech ensures quality manufacturing that surpasses traditional manufacturing. From the materials, design, and removal of supports your components, your products will be exceptionally strong and structurally sound.

Eco-efficient Production
Additive manufacturing drastically decreases green house emissions, waste, and material use. Emitting 90% less green house gas, using 90% less energy, and 95% less material. The use of additive manufacturing over conventional manufacturing is essential in saving our eco-system.
Customised Products
Todays market has a high demand for customised products, something that is difficult to manufacture profitably due to the need for special tools, moulds, and machines. However, with metal 3D printing technology 3DK Tech can produce each batch uniquely with no limit of customisation and a much faster manufacturing process.
Improved Time to Market
With additive manufacturing technology, you can get your product to market with a turnaround time reduced by 90-95%(From 4-6 months to 10 days). For example, manufacturing a jet fuel injector with conventional manufacturing would involve assembling 150+ components. Whereas, additive manufacturing would require you to print 2 parts.
Complex functional structures with a single print
With traditional manufacturing technology, the complexity and design of our products are limited by the capabilities of the machines we have. However, with 3D printing any shape can be constructed in a CAD software and printed with little to no limits. With a well thought out design, not only can we produce such complex objects at lower costs, but with higher efficiency in a component. We can help you take full advantage of metal 3D printing.
