What Our Customers Say
Switching to 3DPTEK’s sand 3D printers cut our mold-making time from 2 weeks to 48 hours. We’ve since purchased 3 more J2500 units. The equipment pays for itself in the first year.
Production Director, Automotive Foundry
3DPTEK didn’t just sell us a printer — they helped us redesign our entire casting workflow. Their application engineers spent two weeks on-site training our team. That level of support is rare.
Chief Engineer, Aerospace Casting Supplier
We evaluated six sand printer suppliers across China and Europe. 3DPTEK offered the best combination of build volume, print speed, and total cost of ownership. Two years in, zero regrets.
CEO, Korean Foundry Equipment Distributor
The LaserCore 6000 transformed our wax pattern production. We eliminated 80% of our tooling costs and reduced lead times from 4 weeks to 3 days. Our investment casting business has doubled.
