In recent years, the world has been a strong development of imaging technologies, rapid prototyping, and no limit to the creativity of the people - it's 3D printing technology. From the industrial manufacturing industry to medicine, aesthetic shaping, 3D printing technology can fully assert its leading role when applied to the life.

As the largest furniture manufacturer in Vietnam, Hoa Phat Furniture JSC has quickly invested to use 3D printing technology into design and production, bringing huge efficiency for the deployment of diverse products with designs and consistent quality by fastest way to customers. 3D printers with advanced technology in the world helped the R&D department of Hoa Phat Furniture to shorten prototyping, increasing the accuracy of product design, saving production costs and meet demand growing customer and market.

Talking to an engineer who working at the Hoa Phat Binh Duong Furniture factory, he said: 'It is wonderful. Previously, when I was in university lecture hall, I have access to the software Auto CAD to draw 3D of machine parts. It's good to be able to clearly see how the shape of 3D object looks like on computers, but now I can see in front of my eyes, touching hands and can hold pair direct measurement products that have reached their design or not, every product design makes me feel so excited!'

Mr. Vu Duc Sinh - Branch Director of Hoa Phat Furniture in the South, a manager but very passionate about technology, one of the first people to reach the 3D printing technology at Hoa Phat Furniture exclaimed 'it is unbelievable, how it can do complex objects, hollow on the inside, while existing molding technology can't!'

Not only create product prototypes, engineers of Hoa Phat Furniture can use 3D printers to print faster Mock-up samples of machinery and machine parts, ensuring mechanical replacement, repair fastest: 'Sometimes, vacuum part of the automatic feeder system suddenly couldn't work to provide embryo to CNC machine anymore, the machine supplier proposed to replace the entire machine details of up to several thousand dollars. After studying the cause by breaking a few details that the supplier couldn't provide immediately, we used 3D printer to product those details, making the machine run normally. Now, once the plastic details are worn or broken, we can replace ourselves with ultra-low cost compared to purchase abroad, ensuring continuous operation machine, no need to wait for foreign supplier' - Mr. Vu Duc Sinh excited to share.

This does not mean that 3D printing technology has no downside, but with a trained team of highly experienced engineers, Hoa Phat Furniture will continue to research, apply and develop more to maximize product quality. Obviously, practical benefits of 3D print to business activities of enterprises are undeniable.
