Can you optimise your business with 3D technology?
SIK Teknik has considered that question for a long time as part of the company’s ongoing focus on skills development and innovation.
Through Dansk AM Hub and Center for Industri’s 3DP Try Out programme, SIK Teknik had the opportunity to borrow a 3D printer free of charge and gain insight into the many benefits of AM technology—and here, the time savings in particular have been an important factor.
“We have had a strong focus on the development processes, and here we have experienced very significant time savings throughout the entire development course. The timeline from idea to first prototype can now be just a few hours, whereas previously it was days—perhaps weeks. At the same time, in various test setups we have been able to use 3D-printed components, which in turn has reduced the timeframe considerably,” says design engineer at SIK, Michael Maagaard.
Results from programmes with Dansk AM Hub
- Faster development process
- The timeline from idea to first prototype can now be just a few hours, whereas previously it was days—perhaps weeks.
- Effective in maintaining the company’s competitiveness
SIK Teknik has a strong focus on development processes, and therefore participation in the 3DP Try Out programme came at a good time for the company, as the design department was experiencing increasing challenges with workload and time pressure. Here, 3D technology has proven effective in maintaining the company’s competitiveness, as it has optimised—and thereby strengthened—the company in several areas.
“The project has certainly been decisive in that we are now considering acquiring our own printer in order to secure the company’s position in a competitive market,” says design engineer at SIK, Michael Maagaard.
