The Australian Manufacturing Week (AMW) 2025, the country's biggest precision engineering manufacturing event, opened its doors this week at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. Among the international exhibitors, TPM3D, a active innovator in Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing, joined forces with its Australian partner DustForge to showcase cutting-edge additive manufacturing solutions.
DustForge offered a firsthand look at how TPM3D’s latest SLS technologies are accelerating local innovation across sectors. The booth features innovative materials and real-world application cases from industries including automotive, aerospace, medical, consumer electronics, and creative design.
A major highlight was the TPM3D S Series—designed to meet the highest EU safety standards and equipped with dual lasers, dynamic focusing, and intelligent scanning coordination. These machines deliver both speed and stability for industrial-scale production.
DustForge also introduced TPM3D’s Powder & Part Processing Station (PPS)—an all-in-one post-processing solution that handles powder recycling, cleaning, refilling, and dust control. The system boosts efficiency and safety while reducing manual labor.
In materials, DustForge showcased TPM3D’s glass-filled Nylon 12, a durable, heat-resistant, and highly reusable polymer ideal for end-use parts in demanding environments. With high mechanical strength and excellent thermal properties, the material is well-suited for rigorous manufacturing needs in both commercial and industrial contexts.
With TPM3D’s 26 years of expertise in SLS and DustForge’s local engineering know-how, the collaboration offers a comprehensive additive manufacturing workflow—from design optimization and material selection to high-quality final parts. This partnership directly supports the growing demand for localized, high-performance manufacturing solutions in Australia.
Visitors to DustForge’s booth are also being treated to intricately crafted SLS-printed giveaways, showcasing the technology’s unmatched precision, strength, and design flexibility.
