3D Formtech Invested in Finland’s Largest Metal Powder-Bed 3D Printer for Commercial Use

3D Formtech is strengthening its position as Finland’s leading 3D printing provider. The latest equipment investment, Nikon SLM500, enables efficient mass production of aluminum parts and the printing of parts up to 500 mm in size.

A successfully completed 3D print is not just a component produced from high-quality materials using state-of-the-art equipment. Throughout the manufacturing process, one invisible yet crucial element—expertise—plays a fundamental role.

At the turn of the year, we had access to production facilities twice the size of the previous ones. The new facilities are unprecedented in Finland. There are still preconceptions about 3D printing, from small machine shops in 3D printing at home. When it comes to industrial 3D printing, the truth is entirely different. We thought that the best way to see, hear and experience what industrial 3D printing is today is to invite our clients to visit us. In April, we organized an invitation-only event for almost 50 participants. Read what it was all about in this blog post!
