Can you optimise your business with 3D technology?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

SIK Teknik has considered that question for a long time as part of the company\u2019s ongoing focus on skills development and innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through <\/span>Danish AM Hub\u2019s<\/a> <\/span>and <\/span>Center for Industri\u2019s<\/a> <\/span>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-where time savings in particular have been an important factor.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have had a strong focus on the development processes, and here we have experienced exceptionally significant time savings throughout the entire development cycle. The timeline from idea to first prototype can now be a matter of 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,\u201d says design engineer at SIK, Michael Maagaard. <\/p>\n
