LAMOTEK Story

The mold industry is a fundamental upstream sector in modern manufacturing, often referred to as the "mother of industry." Globally, over 80% of component products are mass-produced through molds. In 2022, domestic mold product output reached 25.2445 million sets, expanding the industry market to 342.939 billion yuan. The mold industry employs over a million people, driving downstream component product output to exceed 3 trillion yuan.

LAMOTEK is an outstanding provider of 3D printing solutions for mold applications, committed to the deep industrial application of 3D printing technology in the mold industry. Metal 3D printing technology not only improves the internal and external structural design of molds, enhancing performance but also reduces costs by simplifying the manufacturing process and shortening production cycles, bringing significant technological and economic advantages to mold manufacturing.

The name "LAMOTEK" is derived from the first two letters of the English words "Laser" and "Mold," symbolizing the combination of laser and mold.

Vision

“Begin with the end in mind” is the fundamental principle guiding LAMOTEK in formulating its corporate mission and vision.

With a profound understanding of the characteristics of the mold industry and user needs, our technical research and development team has gradually established a systematic core technology barrier, covering diversified printing processes and heat treatment process development, innovative printing material research and development, and the development of 3D printing equipment dedicated to molds. The integrated mold 3D printing solution process of "equipment + materials + processes + services" has become quite mature. In terms of business models, in addition to providing high-quality mold printing services and product businesses, we further reduce the difficulty and cost of 3D printing technology application by assisting users in establishing distributed intelligent autonomous printing centers, greatly promoting the large-scale application of 3D printing technology in the mold industry.

In the era of advanced manufacturing and intelligent manufacturing, China's manufacturing industry is about to embark on a new round of strong development. As the "mother of industry," the Chinese mold industry will also shift from "traditional manufacturing" to "advanced intelligent manufacturing." In this transformation process, 3D printing technology is considered the key technology to promote the innovative development of the mold industry. In this context, LAMOTEK has the opportunity to stand at the forefront of technology and innovation and become a leader in leading the digital transformation of China's mold industry.
