A new way of thinking
Then Johs. Pedersen When they considered getting started with 3D printing, their focus was on metal printing, as they primarily manufacture metal spare parts. They went through a programme at Danish AM Hub with Danfoss and received answers to many questions, as well as the confidence to begin exploring the technology gradually, without making major investments.
When Johs. Pedersen had the opportunity to borrow a 3D printer from Dansk AM Hub for one month through 3DP Try Out, they began printing and drawing on the experience they had gained from the AM Inspire programme.
Since then, 3D printing has truly become established at Johs. Pedersen, who have not only purchased a 3D printer, but also set up their own 3D printing centre in the 43-year-old machine factory.
They print models and holding fixtures, and it has generated great enthusiasm within the company.
“It changes your mindset and gives you a different way of thinking,” says Jesper Knudsen, Head of Technical Department at Johs. Pedersen.
According to Jesper Knudsen, using 3D printing saves both time and money, and also opens up a world of possibilities for what can be produced going forward.
