Iran Manufactures 3D Printers with Cutting Edge Global Technology
“We are active in production of 3D printers with advanced technologies like SLS, which is still the most advanced polymer printing method in the world,” Alireza Eskandari told ANA on the sidelines of the International Innovation and Technology Exhibition (INOTEX) 2025.
“We also produce industrial FTM machines and IMAX metal printers, which are similar to Markforged’s technology and have only been introduced in the world for 3-4 years. We have indigenized this IMAX machine over two years of research and development, and now we are producing high-quality parts with it.”
Noting that receiving the license to launch Iran’s first digital factory was also a big step by the company, Eskandari said, “Also, planning to establish specialized additive manufacturing centers in the oil and gas and aerospace industries demonstrates our determination to expand this technology.”
In a relevant development in 2024, 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.”
