At TCT Asia, Francesco Spinoglio, General Manager of L3AD, shared insights on how the company is revolutionizing industrial 3D printing by creating a digital ecosystem that enhances accessibility. L3AD transcends the limitations of traditional instant-quote services, providing a comprehensive operational platform that allows clients to upload files to a centralized library, customize materials and settings, track production, and manage logistics. This system enables companies to function as their own digital factories without necessitating hefty investments in infrastructure.
With over 800 printers in their network, L3AD promotes cost-effective production for large batches and serial manufacturing. The company is also engaged in material development across China and Europe, boasting expertise in various technologies, including FDM, SLA, and SLS. Notably, they offer proprietary FDM formulations, such as TPU and a unique polypropylene (PP) suitable for medium and large functional parts.
Francesco noted a positive shift in the industry, illustrating that it is evolving away from the outdated narrative of completely replacing traditional manufacturing to a more responsible market focused on practical advancements and growth.
