NAMI: Revolutionising Manufacturing in the Kingdom with 3D Printing
Saudi Arabia's manufacturing landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, with NAMI leading the charge as the Kingdom’s foremost 3D printing company. Established in November 2022 as a joint venture between 3D Systems and Dussur, NAMI is dedicated to advancing local industrial manufacturing. By 2030, the company aims to become a regional leader in digital manufacturing, accelerating the adoption of advanced 3D printing technologies across key sectors.
The Power of 3D Printing
Additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, has emerged as a game-changer in the industrial and medical sectors. 3D printing works by creating objects layer by layer from digital designs, eliminating the need for traditional moulds or subtractive manufacturing methods. The process starts with a digital 3D model, which is then sliced into thin layers by specialised software. Depending on the technology used, these layers are built up using various methods, such as melting plastic pellets, curing liquid resins with lasers, or fusing powdered metals. This technology allows for greater design flexibility, reduced material waste, and faster production times compared to traditional manufacturing methods. In Saudi Arabia, where Vision 2030 prioritises industrial diversification and local production capabilities, NAMI’s role is crucial in realising these national objectives.
