Vietnam’s largest three-dimension (3D) printing workshop, equipped with various functional areas and professional processes, has been officially launched by 3D Smart Solutions (3DS) Co. Ltd. in Ho Chi Minh City after nearly a year of construction.
The 3D printing workshop, currently the largest in Vietnam, spans around 1,200 square meters in Thu Duc City.
The workshop is divided into nine specialized functional zones, including a 3D printing section equipped with various printing technologies.

In terms of machinery, the facility boasts a total of four industrial 3D printers, 10 professional 3D printers, two industrial 3D scanners, four handheld 3D scanners, and a precision Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining system.
This modern array of machinery and equipment was sourced from prominent global 3D printing technology developer and manufacturer brands like Formlabs and HAAS from the U.S.; Eplus 3D and Shining 3D from China; and Cubicon from South Korea.
