Throughout 2014, 3D printing technology was fully developed in all areas of heavy industry. In the aerospace, automotive and other industries, more and more companies are using high-quality 3D metal printing technology to make prototypes, even as a new manufacturing method.

Now, another big company in the metal industry is also involved in this industry. Sanvik, the world's largest manufacturer of metal cutting tools, has just set up a new R&D department, the 3D printing R&D center, in the small town of Sandviken in northern Stockholm, Sweden. Currently they are looking for a full-time 3D printing staff.

The Sandvik Group is the leader in the global metal cutting tool market, which will generate $21 billion in sales over the next 10 years. They are also major producers of metal powder products used in metal 3D printing equipment. It is widely believed that the metal powder market will grow at a rapid pace with metal 3D printing technology.

Mikael Schuisky, director of Sandvik's 3D Printing R&D Center, said that they will first explore the potential of 3D printing technology in the company's own product manufacturing, such as "mining rigs or fuel tubes on nuclear power plants." At the same time, he does not expect 3D printing. It can quickly replace traditional manufacturing methods, but it can increase the flexibility of the production process. “Our strategy is to make the research of this technology serve the interests of the entire group.”

Schuisky went on to point out that they also intend to develop shapes and objects that are not possible with traditional manufacturing processes, giving designers and developers new tools. “The most fascinating aspect of 3D is that it is a new way of thinking. We are used to using traditional cutting methods to process materials into specified objects, and now we need to rethink completely.”
