3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a production method where parts are built layer by layer directly from a digital 3D model. This technology enables the fast and cost-effective production of complex geometries that are difficult or impossible to manufacture using traditional methods.
3D printing is widely used for functional prototyping, design validation, tooling support, and low-volume production. It allows engineers and manufacturers to reduce development time, lower costs, and iterate designs quickly before committing to mass production.
At GMK3D Engineering, we offer multiple industrial 3D printing technologies to match different mechanical, visual, and functional requirements.
