Iranian Company Produces Complex Parts for Medical, Aerospace Industries with 3D Printers
“We are one of the companies that manufacture metal 3D printer devices. This device is based on laser technology. We succeeded in commercializing metal printer devices, and this device is at present being used by various industries,” said Mohsen Badrostami, the chairman of the board of directors of the knowledge-based company.
Noting that metal 3D printers are used in different fields, he explained that the medical field is one area of application of this device, he said, “Manufacturing specialized implants made of titanium or cobalt-chrome, medical equipment, prostheses, and dental parts are among the fields of application of these systems in the medical field.”
“It is used in the aerospace field to manufacture high-strength, complex-designed aircraft parts, and in the industrial and research fields to produce special parts with complex geometry,” Badrostami said.
In a relevant development in June, a technological company in Iran had also succeeded in manufacturing 3D printers which reduce the cost of production of jewelry and gold accessories.
The technological company, stationed at the incubator center of Islamic Azad University’s Tabriz branch, has manufactured 3D printers in the fields of goldsmithing, dentistry and modeling, a report said.
“Among the achievements of our company, we can mention the indigenization of certain 3D printing technologies with specific technical specifications and presentation of innovations that have promoted this industry and are now being emulated by other industrial activists,” Shahriar Nezakat, the managing director of ‘Kohan Sanatgaran Khallag’ company, told ANA.
“The development and production of 3D printing machines, related machines, peripheral equipment and consumables are among our activities. Also, among the products currently being produced by our company, we can mention 3D printers with DLP and LCD technology, ultra-precise casting resins, and post processing devices,” he added.
Noting that his company has successfully completed the research and development stages of the 3D printer with SLM technology, Nezakat said, “We hope to produce the prototype of this product, whose technology is in the hands of a few countries like the US and Germany, soon.”
