Production Without Molds

KH-TAT integrates multiple industrial-grade 3D printing technologies, including Carbon DLS™, Multi Jet Fusion, and more, delivering exceptional print speed and precision. Combined with rich material selection from engineering thermoplastics to high-performance photopolymers, we can produce durable parts suitable for real-world use environments.
With additive manufacturing, you can quickly obtain fully functional end-use parts without expensive mold costs. Compared to traditional processes like injection molding, 3D printing has advantages in production cycles and cost control, especially suitable for the following industries:

  • Medical and Dental
  • Automotive Manufacturing
  • Aerospace
  • Robotics and Electronics
  • Industrial Equipment and Consumer Goods

About Production-Grade Additive Manufacturing Applications

Production-grade 3D printing technologies typically share the following characteristics: capable of Efficient Manufacturing of large quantities of parts, large build volumes, support for nested part arrangement, and high-speed printing capabilities. These factors collectively determine the technology's production efficiency and economics.
Material selection is also a key consideration. While some 3D printing technologies are suitable for Prototyping, their material properties may not meet end-use requirements. For example, technologies like SLA and PolyJet excel at detailed models and concept displays, but the photopolymers used are relatively limited in strength and durability.
Notably, not all parts are suitable for batch production via 3D printing. Typically, smaller parts (longest side not exceeding a few inches) are better suited for efficient arrangement and batch manufacturing. Wide, flat geometries are prone to warping during forming, affecting mass production stability. Our engineering team can assess project feasibility and recommend the most suitable process solutions.
Below are two production-grade 3D printing technologies we recommend and widely apply:

HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF)

Multi Jet Fusion is a powder-based 3D printing technology that works similarly to inkjet printing: print heads spray material and thermally activated fusing agent onto the powder bed surface, then heat sources fuse the material layer by layer. Since each spray covers the entire build area, MJF can manufacture multiple parts simultaneously, with print speeds up to 10x faster than traditional powder processes like SLS.
Compared with SLS, MJF provides more balanced mechanical properties across the X, Y, and Z axes,suitable for Applications requiring high precision and consistency.This technology is widely used for low-volume End-Use Part Production, Rapid Prototyping, and bridge manufacturing before injection molding. Although material selection is relatively focused, MJF still offers common engineering materials like nylon, polypropylene (PP), and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) to meet diverse functional requirements.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

Selective Laser Sintering is a well-established powder bed 3D printing technology suitable for direct manufacturing of High Precision, high-durability parts.Its principle involves heating powder material to near-melting point and sintering it layer by layer via laser scanning, achieving highly controllable structure and properties.
The advantage of SLS lies in its ability to densely arrange parts within the build volume and handle larger geometries than MJF, making it more flexible in production applications. Although SLS primarily uses polyamide (nylon) materials, it also offers various general-purpose and engineering-grade powder options. Finished parts are typically grayish-white. We offer dyeing services with customizable colors to meet visual requirements for different application scenarios.

Carbon Digital Light Synthesis™ Technology

Carbon DLS (Digital Light Synthesis) is an advanced 3D printing technology,through the synergy of digital light projection, oxygen-permeable optics, and programmable liquid resins, produces end-use parts with excellent mechanical properties, high resolution, and fine surface finish.
Unlike traditional layer-by-layer forming processes, DLS uses continuous curing without pausing between layers, making the forming process smoother and more efficient. This characteristic gives parts isotropic mechanical performance, meaning strength remains consistent across different directions, significantly improving structural reliability and service life.
DLS materials are based on polyurethane or epoxy resins with excellent mechanical strength and elasticity, especially in the flexible material field where its rubber-like and silicone-like properties outperform most additive manufacturing processes. Post-forming secondary thermal treatment activates dormant components in the resin, giving parts better performance than simple UVlight curing for stronger physical properties.
Combined with the Carbon platform's programmable liquid resin system, DLS technology opens up new possibilities for mass customization, on-demand end-use part production, and innovative product design, helping enterprises break through the limitations of traditional manufacturing methods.

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is one of the most popular and mature 3D printing technologies. Its working principle: thermoplastic material spools are precisely fed to the print head via motors, where the material is heated to melting point and extruded through the nozzle, depositing layer by layer onto the build platform to construct the complete part structure.
While FDM may not match the print speed of technologies like DLS or MJF, and is less efficient in part packing than powder bed processes, it offers significant advantages in large-format part manufacturing. FDM equipment can reach build sizes up to 24" × 36" × 36", producing dozens or even hundreds of parts in a single print depending on part size, making it suitable for low-volume production and rapid manufacturing of large structural components.
Additionally, FDM has the widest selection of thermoplastic materials among all 3D printing processes, covering everything from general-purpose to engineering-grade materials to meet strength, temperature resistance, toughness, and chemical stability requirements across various applications.
