KT TOOL specializes in low-volume, high-precision 3D printing services for functional validation, structural testing, and end-use parts. With over 10 years of manufacturing experience, we efficiently produce complex components such as housings, brackets, manifolds, and internal channel parts. Our capabilities include SLA, SLS, and metal 3D printing, enabling fine detail reproduction, complex geometries, and integrated structures that are difficult to achieve with traditional methods. Supported by engineering tools like SolidWorks®, we optimize designs for dimensional accuracy and structural reliability. We also offer post-processing services such as sanding, painting, and customized surface finishing to ensure each part meets both functional and aesthetic requirements.
Technical Process
Adopt SLM Selective Laser Melting Metal Additive Manufacturing Process for integral near-net shaping:
- Full internal closed honeycomb lattice structure, unreachable for CNC cutting tools, exclusive for 3D printing manufacturing;
- External mounting flanges, positioning holes & fitting surfaces are finished by 5-axis CNC machining to meet precision assembly tolerance;
- One-piece molding without splicing or welding seams, better mechanical performance than traditional forged & assembled parts.
