3D Metal Printing, Electronic Discharge Machining (EDM), and Injection Moulding technologies from Sodick were highlighted at InterPlas Thailand. In particular, 3D metal printing is the process by which powdered metals are selectively superheated or "sintered" until they melt and resolidify into a solid, three dimensional shape. A variety of methods for 3D metal printing exist, but the two most commonly seen types are deposition and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS).
The company also promoted its injection moulding systems, which include vertical injection moulding models under the V-Line series which are equipped with Sodick's uniqude design and construction. The V-Line series includes the Single Action Type, Rotary Type, Rotary Type High Cycle COmpact and Thermosetting models.

According to Pachara Prommachan of the Sales Department of Sodick (Thailand) Co., Ltd., the company's products were featured in two booths at the exhibition, thus giving them ample opportunities to promote their products in Thailand. "Sodick is a Japanese company, but we have a factory in Thailand. To date, Sodick operates factories in Asia located in China, Japan and Thailand to serve customers around the world," Mr. Prommachan explained.
Since 1976, Sodick has manufactured over 55,000 EDM machines and over 30,000 linear motor driven EDMs. The machines are used for the production of dies, moulds and other various applications which cannot be produced by standard machining methods.
As an EDM leader, Sodick regularly conducts research and development resulting in machines with sophisticated and unique features. Continuous investments are also made in its production facilities, making it possible to manufacture all machine components for high-precision and high-performance machines.
