3D printing, as a digitized advanced manufacturing technology, offers unique advantages in design freedom and flexible manufacturing, making it particularly suitable for forming complex and irregular structures, conformal cooling channels, venting structures, lightweight structures, and more. Based on our application experience, Lamotek's 3D printing technology can provide an average return on investment of up to 500% for mold customers!

The medical field is an important application field of 3D printing technology. In addition to directly manufacturing customized products, 3D printing can bring extremely high value to medical injection molds and silicone molds. The application of 3D printing technology can significantly reduce the time and cost of rough machining of special-shaped molds, strengthen mold temperature control, solve the problem of trapped air in injection molded products, and achieve cost reduction, quality improvement, and efficiency increase of medical molds.
