Introduction to 3D Printing - Facilities and benefits

At the Danish Technological Institute, we have a complete setup for industrial 3D printing – with a production line for the development and printing of parts, post‑processing workflows, and the necessary tools and competencies for quality assurance.

Specifically, we have: 

• 4 industrial metal 3D printers for printing in, for example, titanium, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, and Inconel
• 3 industrial plastic 3D printers for printing in nylon and BlueDP (blue metal and X‑ray detectable nylon)
• Post‑processing facilities for heat and surface treatment
• CT scanning
• Quality assurance equipment
• Training facilities

The advantages of 3D printing

With industrial 3D printing, it is possible to print unique parts in, for example, metal, and the technology offers a number of advantages in terms of design, production time, and price, which match customers’ growing demands for flexible products and short deadlines.

• Function optimization
• Design freedom
• Flexible production without warehousing
• No use of production tooling
• Short delivery time
• Low unit prices for small‑series production
• Individual flexibility regardless of batch size
